Would they be called "unborn babies" if the article topic was abortion?
This is Reuters, not the AP. Their agenda is much less pronounced. By European standards they are extremely neutral. Moreover, these are probably samples of babies that were brought to term. I think you and the others who are reading an abortion agenda into this story are off-base. This is an environmental story through and through.
I'm surprised the abortion proponents haven't said yet "see, we need more abortions!"
Interesting that they actually use the word babies regarding this issue. I'll bet NARAL and NOW start screaming in protest soon.
