Do you refer to "fetus" as "he", "she" or "it"?

the embryo does not have gender until it reaches that stage of development, by that time it is a fetus, which is the stage where gender differentiation occurs. the fetus has a gender, but it cannot be known at this point without ultrasound.
 
The embryo has a sex from the moment he or she is conceived. This can be known biologically from the chromosomes. Even if it cannot be known biologically which sex the embryo possesses it can be known theologically that the embryo possess one or the other sex since it is a Catholic doctrine that a human being is always created with a sex ontologically speaking whether that sex can be readily discerned or not.

I don’t use the word “fetus”. Thast is just a word the media and the pro abortion people use so they don’t have to admit that it is an unborn baby. It is an unborn baby, not a “fetus”.

YUP! I use baby, not fetus. I do not like the term either.
 
WOW! I responded before I read all of the posts. I was pleasantly surprised to see that so many posters prefer the term “baby.” Although, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised from this group!

I have always referred to my pregnancies as a “baby” from the moment that I found out I was pregnant. Even the ones that I lost at 8 weeks or before…on my second miscarriage…we were not expecting it and I called my husband to tell him that our baby was dead…Of course crying…

all of that aside…I suggest Pro-lifers who talk to young ladies going into the abortion clinics or thinking about abortion to call the baby a fetus…here is why. When or if that young lady goes into the abortion clinic for “counseling” they too will call the baby a “fetus”…she will then tell herself…hey, they are talking about the same thing. Just an observation.

what’s the pronoun for a fetus?
I think if everyone refer to fetus as “he” or “she”, abortion can be reduced. a pro-abortion listener will most likely not to notice this on the spot but it will affect his/her thinking potentially. in the long run he/she will also regard fetuses(or “feti” is this a Latin word?) as human beings

in areas where male are rated higher than females like Asia, I think it’s better to call the fetus “he” if fetus’s gender is unknown. and vice versa

i refered to all my unborn "my baby…“the baby”
 
He was the baby before we found out, and now he has a name. But I did call him the brat the other night when he kept kicking me to the point I felt sick:p .
