I was about to say that.

There was no concept or word for "fetus" at that time. Early church beliefs didn't touch on unborns either. Death and miscarriage was so common that everybody understood that the soul entered the body at birth. It would be ridiculous to believe that an omniscient god would ensoul a body he knew would die before birth.

This is a cockamamie stunt by forced-birthers.
