“Fetus”: This one confuses me. Liberals actually want to deny the existence of fetuses, so I am not sure what trouble Trump has with this word.”

from dictionary —

fetus: an unborn offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human baby more than eight weeks after conception.

May be objectionable because it groups, and dismisses, a human embryo in same class with animals.

No need for confusion. It is better to say a "woman is with child" rather than "the non-gender it is growing a fetus inside of it".

A child is a human.

It’s because the pro-abortion crowd has changed the definition of the word fetus. Reasonable people know it means baby, and in most contexts, the live human baby who is yet unborn. The abortion crowd has changed it to mean unviable blob of pre-human tissue or some such nonsense.

By banning the word in official government texts, the Trump Administration is forcing a return to true word usage and away from obfuscation. Same with the rest of them.

The proper term is “unborn child.”

“Fetus” is just Latin for “baby.”

The abortionists prefer “fetus” because it sounds medical, and wet, and squirmy, while “baby” sounds innocent and cute.
