Pesticides and fetuses

mercredi 7 novembre 2018 à 01:00

Toxicologists call for banning all organophosphate pesticides because they damage the health of fetuses.

I refuse to refer to fetuses as "prenatal children" — that term will tend to help the theocratic campaign to ban abortions. Causing damage to a fetus that then develops into a human being is wrong because that human being will suffer the damage. We need not try to support this conclusion by equating the fetus to a child.
