AP Calls a Baby On Its Due Date “a Fetus”
A pregnant Amish woman picking berries in the woods near her Pennsylvania home was killed by lightning on her due date. The fetus also died.
State police say 36-year-old Mary H. Yoder was with her husband and two children late Tuesday morning when a storm moved in. Yoder took shelter under a pine tree while her husband and the children ducked under a different tree.
Police say lightning struck a few minutes later, killing Yoder and her fetus. Trooper Steven Limani tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that Tuesday was the due date.
Police are investigating.
Garrett is about 75 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

This just in:
Brian Ross is reporting that the tree was a Tea Party Spruce that killed the woman and her internal tissue formation.

Lightning struck almost 51 years too late.

It’s too bad all the liberal’s parents didn’t practice abortion.

Sad.
But who doesn’t know not to get under a tree in a storm?
They are natural lightning rods.
BTW, “fetus” is the correct term for an unborn infant.

Damn! Yoder’s used to make some good canned meat for storage!
Norman, you’re correct BUT calling the “unborn child” a “fetus” dehumanizes it, thereby it is far more palatable for the progturdial agenda.

Calling it a a “fetus” makes it easier to accept that there are “doctors” who jam scissors into babies’ heads even at this stage of development.

Yes. But calling the fetus a vulnerable, innocent, as yet unborn child dehumanizes the oven that’s incubating it. …Lady in Red

@oaks, clinger, yes I get it. That was BFH’s point.
But, in choosing our battles, I don’t think it’s always helpful to be picking the fly shit out of the pepper.

@Lady in Red… um, no it doesn’t. That doesn’t even make sense.

@even steven, I think she’s trying to say that by calling the baby a baby, we make it difficult for LIR to masquerade as a human being.

I’d wager that if a tea party member would shoot and kill a liberal democrat woman who was 9 months pregnant they’d nail him with 2 counts of murder.

So, lets refer to all progs as fetuses (feti?), and do whatever we want with them.
