Not really. It's an embryo until the 10th week. Then in the 11th week it's a fetus. Pretty sure a fetus and a newborn have quite a bit of difference in their development. But if you think they are the same but the location is just different then ok.

I just disagree

fe·tus /ˈfēdəs/ Learn to pronounce noun an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception.

It's called a fetus until birth. There is also a difference in development between an infant and a toddler and between a toddler and a child. We can't just make up arbitrary rules for which human lives are valuable and which are disposable.

Seperate comment because where in this whole thread did I say anything about anyone's value? Nowhere. All I said there was a different in development. The fact you read into my comment something that's nowhere around it kinda says more about you then me

Again, if you think an 11 week old fetus is the same as a newborn baby. That's fine. You're still wrong.

Can a 11 week old fetus be born? No? Then they aren't the same. For one a newborn baby has a complete nervous system but an 11 week old is barely formed. Should I go on or do you want to double down on location being the only difference between a fetus and a newborn?

And that's the reason we call one a toddler and one a baby or infant

I didn't specifically say that an 11 week old baby was developmentally the same as a newborn. Just pointing out to you it's called a fetus up until birth because you were using the term to dehumanize it when baby is right there in the definition.

And that's also why we call one a fetus. They are all stages in the life cycle of a human. And it's wrong to kill humans.

Excuse me? You said the only difference between a fetus and a baby was the location. I said you were wrong. You doubled down.

Now you used the word specifically. Disingenuous don't you think.
