I was listening to a radio show the other day about the pro-life march.

A commentator made a good point.

Years ago we never said a woman was pregnant. We said she is “with child”

If we say she’s pregnant then the word fetus is used to hide the fact that it’s a baby.

If she’s “with child”, you can’t hide the fact that she is carrying a baby.

yes, changing back the language like that would help a long way.
