foetus doesn't mean "baby" in Latin. It means something a lot more like birthing.

It means baby.
But you're missing the point.
Sonograms and advanced imaging debunked the "parasitic lump of flesh" and the "it's not a baby till 9 months and 1 day!" narratives years ago. ๐Ÿคฑ
But we still have to hear that every day.
When they know they don't have a leg to stand on, they argue semantics and hope constantly changing definitions and medical jargon can cloud the issue. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿคฐ

Really, you're the one who brought up the Latin. It doesn't mean that. My Latin dictionary gives me "filled with young, breeding" as the first meaning and eventually meanders down to "birthing, having given birth".

But the cut-and-dried "it means baby/it means pregnancy" argument is flawed, because pregnancy is a terribly precarious state. As many as 1 in 3 pregnancies terminate themselves naturally: if you ask around, you may be surprised at how many women you know who have experienced miscarriages. A pregnancy is not a baby, merely the strong potential for a baby.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A BABY. THIS LOOKS LIKE A HUMAN BEING. BUT DON'T WORRY. IT'S NOT BECAUSE SOME GUY ON THE INTERNET SAID SO! | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
It means baby.
You're going out of your way to prove my point.
People who don't have a legitimate argument, try to argue over what the definition of "is" is.

You are really swinging your ignorance around freely here. Muzzle it, please.

You keep missing the point:
This meme is mocking certain bad actors on the left's tendency to debate "around the margins."
They have no argument so they attempt to cloud the issue with unrelated debate.
By arguing "it's a fetus not a baby," they try to cloud the actual issue: killing babies is bad.
Sonograms and in-vitro photography long since ended the: "it's a lump of flesh" argument from the olden days. So rather than craft an intelligent response to: "killing babies is bad," they just take the long way around the barn and hope the other girl isn't paying attention.

So not only are you supporting my argument with your "that's not how I interpret the Latin!" argument, but you're also mocking yourself.
Fetus has meant baby for the last 2500 years and how you and I interpret it means nothing. You can interpret it "Obama care" for all I care. It means nothing.
The meme says: the left doesn't have an argument so they argue over the definition of "is."
You just gave me another fine example of this. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿคฐ

Go on, interview the women over 20 in your family. Ask all the aunts, cousins and grannies. About 1 out of 4 women you care about have had or will have an abortion. If you haven't been in the situation from which they made that decision, you really don't get to trot out these old arguments, Cotton Mather.

"If you never had a chance to kill you don't get to have an opinion on murder?"
That's an interesting theory.
You really bit off more than you could chew when you misinterpreted this meme, didn't you?
Oh well. Thanks for your time.๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Not murder. You're biting off a lot more than you can chew when you want to tell billions of women and girls to do with their bodies.

My point wasn't as much about the definition -- see my second paragraph. It's about the nature of pregnancy and birth ("fetus" in Latin). They aren't binary, and so any argument that "It's a baby, and that's that" doesn't match reality. If you've been pregnant, you will understand.

You really want to make this about a narrow definition -- no one narrow set of words can define all the possible situations pregnancy can put someone in. Don't let your mindset narrow down other people's choices -- though by all means, IF YOU DON'T LIKE ABORTIONS, DON'T HAVE ONE.

It's your responsibility to read the meme before commenting. I can't do that for you. ๐Ÿ˜›
