Posts 2 & 4 didnt include those things, those things are your 'excuses' to avoid refuting the content in posts 2 & 4.
Post 2 & 4 show your OP is a failed premise.
No worries...everyone can read posts 2 & 4 for themselves. And most will...since they see them almost immediately when they start the thread. :mrgreen:
Post 2 & 4 for reference
Post #2
First two sentences comprise denigration.The easily offended and emotionally invested in strangers' unborn do tend to have a hard time accepting accuracy. It weakens their attempts at emotional manipulation in discussions and makes their self-righteous outrage look self-indulgent.
Everyone is different of course, but in my case, I use 'unborn' as shorthand so I dont have to qualify or include zygote, embryo, fetus when I write. I do use the appropriate term when applicable.
Using accuracy in discussions does not = dehumanization. How can one criticize being accurate and using correct terminology? Only those with weak arguments that need an emotional crutch for their claims.
Now that's why I use it...prove I'm wrong :mrgreen:
If you cant, then I guess you have created another failed OP.
Third sentence is a straw man.
Fourth sentence is denigration.
Fifth sentence is false and a denial.
Sixth sentence is dismissal.

"Solely" is Lursa's straw man.People use the words 'baby' and 'child' for their pets, cars, boats, etc.
Any attempts to claim those terms solely for unborn humans are clearly false.
Another :failpail:
The argument that because the words have other uses the original use no longer has currency is ludicrous.
The emoji is dismissal.
