Is it a baby or not?

In the local news yesterday there was an article about a home in Tennessee that burned down. It described the situation as follows: "A lightning strike is likely to blame for a fire that killed a man, woman, child and unborn child in Tennessee, according to officials." Knowing that our local news station is about as conservative as the Muppet in the Oval Office, it is hard to believe that they really meant what they wrote (I really wonder if they even realize what they wrote).

They have clearly come out on the side of abortion many times, even speaking about those of us who defend the unborn as "unscientific" and "extremist radicals". Yet, the author of the article said that a "pregnant woman and her unborn child" died in the fire. If it is an "unborn child" that could be killed by a house fire, why is it not an "unborn child" when it is killed by an abortion doctor? I doubt that their philosophy is as detailed as to say that if a baby dies by accident then it is a real child, but if it is murdered then it is no longer a real child.

Consistency! Remember, my dear brethren, the world is in darkness and really has no idea how to think. Do not fall into their errors of thinking. Basic logic is not taught in schools these days (homeschool parents: take note and remedy this for your children!), so most pagans could not come up with a logically consistent argument if their lives depended on it.

Oh, and just in case anyone missed it: it is a baby, both before and after it is born.
