"Gestational Carrier" -- courtesy the wordsmiths

[GodLovesTheSpek]

Lately I’ve been hearing the phrase “gestational carrier” rather than “surrogate mother”.

Is the use of this phraseology new, laying dormant or a “war on mothers”?

Just as the unborn child has been renamed a “fetus” in order to remove any thought of humanity or life and make palatable to some the Evil of Abortion the mother is now a “gestational carrier”. What does this change mean?

Is “scientific correctness” now the order of the day?

Could it mean:

“Gestational carrier” removes any consideration of human or gender?

Paves the way for “legal males” or “legal women” to be “carriers” instead of having the possible social stigma of a mother being thought of as female.

Put both together and we have a gestational carrier with a fetus.

Are abortionists now “gestational terminators”?

What would our Blessed Mother say?

That sounds more like a band name than a term for a surrogate.

Really? I thought it was the other way around, and that pro-lifers renamed the fetus.

Part of the culture of death like “pro choice” and “gay”.

Just one more way of dehumanizing humans, both mothers and children. Look for an artificial uterus someday…

It’s a way of downplaying the fact that a woman who carries an unborn child is its mother.

Hail, Mary, Gestational Carrier of God …

On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with the word “fetus”. It just means “little one” and refers to a developmental stage. It is no more degrading or dehumanizing to call an unborn child a fetus than it is to refer to a young man or woman between the ages of 12 and 20 as an adolescent.
