[It appears that the pro-abortion Left is continuing to violate laws and practice violence in demonstrating its opposition to the SCOTUS ruling that overturned Roe v Wade.  Compare the coverage of these protests on the various ideologically oriented media outlets.  None of the protesters seem to know what the ruling really said and how it preserves democracy in the land. gjr]

    I will use Websters definition that is matched by any other definition used in dictionaries. Try googling Baby definition for the entire list :
    1a(1) : an extremely young child especially : infant
    (2) : an extremely young animal
    b : the youngest of a group He is the baby of the family.
    2a : one that is like a baby (as in behavior) When it comes to getting shots, I’m a real baby.
    b : something that is one’s special responsibility, achievement, or interest The project was his baby.
    3 slang a : girl, woman —often used in address
    b : boy, man —often used in address Hey baby, nice car!
    4 : person, thing is one tough baby

    an unborn or unhatched vertebrate especially after attaining the basic structural plan of its kind specifically : a developing human from usually two months after conception to birth

    Paul is still trying to justify the rapture of endorsing the wanton killing of innocent human life.
    If he doesn’t like the term “killing babies” he should educate himself on just how far along in a pregnancy they want to allow an abortion.
    The more advanced in development of the fetus, the more valuable it is in dollars to PP.
    And as long as Paul wants to look at a dictionary – maybe he can figure out what an abortion has to do with “reproductive health”.

    Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming received a warm welcome while speaking as part of the “A Time for Choosing” speakers series held by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. She speaks as a true Conservative not as a phony MAGA Trump worshiper.
    “I know at this moment we are confronting a domestic threat we have never faced before and that is a former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic and he is aided by Republican leaders and elected officials who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man,” she said.
    “Some in my party are embracing former President Trump and even after all we have seen, they are enabling his lies. Many urge we do not confront Donald Trump, that we look away, and that is certainly the easier path. One need only look at the threats facing the witnesses who have come before the Jan. 6 committee to understand the nature and magnitude of that threat, but to argue the threat posed by Donald Trump can be ignored is to cast aside the responsibility that every citizen, everyone must not do that, and we cannot do that.”
    “As the full picture is coming into view with the Jan.6 committee, it has become clear that the efforts Donald Trump oversaw and engaged in were even more chilling and more threatening than we could have imagined,” Cheney said. “As we have shown, Donald Trump attempted to overturn the presidential election and attempted to stay in office and prevent the peaceful transfer of power. He summoned the mob to Washington, he knew they were armed on Jan. 6, he knew they were angry and he directed the violent mob to march on the Capitol in order to delay or prevent the counting of votes.”
    “The reality we face today as Republicans, as we think about the choice in front of us, we have to choose, because Republicans cannot be loyal to both Donald Trump and to the Constitution at this moment,” she said to applause.
    “We must not elect people who are more loyal to themselves or to power than they are to our Constitution,” she said, to more applause.
    “And I want to speak to every young girl watching tonight: the power is yours and so is the responsibility. In our great nation, one individual can make all the difference and each individual must try. There are no bystanders in a constitutional republic and let me say this to the little girls and young women watching tonight, these days, for the most part, men are running the world, and it is really not going that well,” she said to cheers and applause.
    Here’s the speech in it’s entirety

    Paul, you gave a list of definitions for ‘baby’, many of which were semantically orthogonal (‘baby’ carries a lot of meanings today). Which one is yours? And if renaming the pre-partum critter a ‘fetus’ instead of ‘baby’ makes it easier for you and yours to kill it, then rejoice in the comfort it gives you in promoting/condoning the deed. What’s in a name indeed?
