“Fetus” refers to level of development
A couple of nights ago, I was having a conversation about abortion and my friend seemed confused over the meaning of the term “human fetus”.
I explained that “human” denotes that the creature is a member of our species and “fetus” indicates the level of development of the aforementioned human, much in the same way we use the words “infant”, “toddler”, “adolescent” and “adult”…
He seemed to really struggle with the idea that “elephant fetus” simply means an elephant at an early stage of development. So, with that in mind, have you ever wondered what an elephant fetus looks like as it’s growing to maturity?
Prince Caspian Theatre Production
Next week our C.S. Lewis bookclub will be going to see a one man theatre show, retelling the life of C.S. Lewis.

Abortion: Change my mind (2nd Edition)
Here is the 2nd Edition of Crowder’s abortion “Change my mind” video:
Abortion: Change my mind (1st Edition)
While I don’t always agree with everything he says, I’ve been really enjoying watching the Steven Crowder “Change my mind” segments. In these segments, he has a long-form discussion with someone who opposes his view on a particular subject and invites them to change his mind…
