“Fetus” simply means “offspring.” The distinction is entirely arbitrary and invented by people like yourself who want to justify atrocities. You play the same bullshit language games that the trans activists play. They can’t define “woman.” You can’t define “person.” Hey feminists: what is a person?
Except not really. Fetus has primarily meant unborn/unhatched since 14th century and called an infant or baby after birth/hatching.
The problem isn't leftists using the wrong word, but them dehumanizing a fetus into a thing that can be killed without even blinking. What Walsh could have said is "unborn baby" to indicate he's talking about a human being before birth rather than the way they think of it as "clump of cells".
I meant more the part about being squirrely about defining 'person.' He might not have gotten it all the way right, but I think the core point is worthwhile.

Will What is a Person? be his next film?
Oof. That's a good one and they wouldn't like it at all.
I know something that isn't a person: Communists.
Say what you want about Matt Walsh - and I certainly don't like some of what he has to say - but he's got some damn good zingers.

Oh I clicked on the twitter link and couldn't see Walsh's original comment bc twitter.
There's really nothing wrong with Matt's phrasing because "dead babies" is a superset of "dead fetus" in this context.
