Sorry if see me as tendentious, Steve. I'm trying to avoid the kind of words that can divert and prevent honest discussion, such as "unborn child". I think that "developing human" is a reasonable term, and so is “continued life". I don’t see why there is any reason to argue for them or against them. It is very hard in this context to find neutral terminology. I didn’t say "serious inconveniences" because I am fully aware that in a great number of abortions the problems which an unwanted pregnancy involve for the mother are extremely serious. In no way am I minimising them.
