EVERYONE knows that a fertilized egg is not a person. And neither is a full term fetus a collection

terminology.

It takes a small mind indeed to focus on a grammatical issue or accidental misuse of a word that has no bearing on the point being made.

So I can't have an adult conversation on abortion because I mistakenly said "embryo" instead of "fetus"?!! Wow!

Telling me that I make a mistake would have been welcome, especially if you followed up with a cogent thought on the actual point (which had nothing to do with whether the proper term for a baby at a particular time is "embryo" or "fetus&quot . But perhaps cogent thoughts aren't within your capability, only nitpicking terminology and the like. Using that single mistake to draw broad conclusions about me or the strength of my argument is embarrassingly asinine—but you would only understand that if you had a worthwhile education.

Well if that's what your "education" has taught you, you have my condolences. Lame pedantry is not the result of a genuine education. I pity you, but not enough to waste more time talking to you.

You're dismissed.
