A foetus is the stage after the embryo, when organogenesis is done meaning tissue and organs have formed, right up to the point of delivery.
This means at delivery, a foetus becomes a baby by coming out, no other changes.
So i wouldn’t really call that difference relevant in a moral debate. The stages of development or number of weeks is, but you can’t really distinguish the two without this specification.
That’s why where i live we allow 14 weeks after the first absence of periods for example.
That’s an interesting point, and would make a dope video art exhibit. I’m not sure cuteness is quite philosophically sound as a way to measure personhood, though.
Murdering women by not allowing them to get abortions when every doctor involved says she will die without care.
Abortion? Fetus dies.
No abortion? Fetus and woman dies.
I see no reason to go with #2 without assuming they just flat out hate women.
"Fetuses are babies too!“
I bet 97% of people would scream in horror if a fetus would crawl towards them
That’s not a good argument, nor true.

Brave of you to assume fetuses can crawl… in nearly all stages of development there are no developed locomotion muscles.
Locomotion muscles or something:
Ahhhh my eyes MY FUCKING EYES
just use your celibate eyes instead!
