All I would add to your post is we in the West use euphemisms to shield us from the reality of the truth
Abortion is, even if one uses the latin word "foetus"...is still the killing of a human "offspring".
Foetus is the same word as a human baby. Just that people feel less barbaric when they discuss ending the existence of a "foetus" as opposed to a human offspring or being
PS...in my search for the root lating definition I ran across this explanation andit so sums up the 21st C
Why is it called a fetus and not a baby?
As pregnancy progresses the embryo becomes a fetus. The fetus becomes a neonate or newborn at birth. It may not be common to hear a pregnant person speak about their embryo or fetus in those terms, but we can all choose to use the words we are most comfortable with.26 Aug 2021
