Not me. I have not not once referred to that which is aborted as human.
You say I “keep conflating” implying that I’ve done it more than once. I haven’t done it at all. In fact I have been very careful NOT to.
Other people are conflating life with human life.
I have only used the term “life”. I pointed out that people use whatever terms they want and gave examples (fetus, zygote, baby.....).
You and oldandslow are seeing shit that just isn’t there.
