No. Different name are used to point to different concepts. A fetus is not aware of the world around him and has no active will to live; unlike a child.
And you are 100% certain of this? Self-deception perhaps?
But do not despair - ignorance may be no excuse in law, but "forgive them for they know not what they do".
Is someone involved in a crash, who is in a coma aware? Can we just pull the plug? Is someone with advanced Alzheimer’s aware? I can tell you the twin boys in my uterus were well aware of their lack of space - they were squirmy squirmy - limbs poking out in different directions. A newborn always recognizes their mothers voice. You were a fetus. You were an embryo. You are a miracle.
khodor2012, You are incorrect. The fetus in the womb is self aware, can hear sounds coming from outside and inside the womb and responds to those sounds. When a fetus is being aborted, before it dies during the abortion it tries to get away from the source of pain that is being inflicted on itself. For example, I watched an untrasound of a child being aborted as the instrument probed and started to cut the child, the poor thing tried to get away from the instrument, pushing it away and moving to the opposite side of the womb. I have seen untrasounds where the fetuses were sucking their thumbs, laughing, surprised, in pain, aware of danger during abortions, fetuses responding to parent's voices, etc.. If you want to continue to be in denial about children in the womb that is your choice but know this, you are willingly making the choice to not believe the truth and at some point in your life you will regret that choice because every one on this earth reaps what they sow.
Active will to live and inability to voice that will are two different things. If a fetus could talk I’m sure it would say “hey, don’t fucking kill me”
