Were your statement to be interpreted seriously, CL, it would be considered disingenuous given that you would normally be expeted to be aware of what Ham meant in his statement.
CL makes a good point because it actually is just the process the living being has been through rather than the development stage that makes the difference in definitions.
A fetus is just an unborn mammal, a baby is a newly born mammal. A baby isn't a fully developed mammal. It's still developing.
All a fetus has to do is pass through a vagina and be born and it becomes a baby. At least according to my understanding of the definitions.
The unborn are very often referred to as "babies" as well. When women miscarry, we say she "lost her baby". When there is movement being felt from inside the womb we say "the baby is kicking." etc etc. May just be a matter of semantics. Personally I don't think it matters what word we use to refer to him/her. It doesn't change the reality.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
