The video is from «Focus on the Family,» and at the beginning you see a woman telling her partner: It's positive! She's pregnant. The next scene is a pregnant black woman looking at an ultrasound of her baby, and listening to her baby's heartbeat.
This is a full-fledged spoiler, so if you want to read no more and watch the video already. But I'm going to continue, because the video is only 1 minute and 1 second long. One breath.
There are two men jogging, a woman wearing a T-shirt that says ‘fetus on board’, a gynecologist telling a laboring woman: keep pushing, “your fetus is doing a wonderful job”....
A grandmother opens an envelope that says ‘we're having a fetus’, while a voiceover says: «Call it what you want, but the truth doesn't change...», and it goes on a bit longer, when a little girl says to her pregnant mother: «It's a baby», and she completes: «It's still a baby».
Indeed, the authors don't care what you call the little human being already conceived in the mother's womb. “Call it what you want,” they say, it is a baby, a baby.
What Focus on the family says
However, in the web editor of the video writes that “fetus is such a scientific word. It is something distant (...) There are those who try to detract from life by changing the way we talk about it”.
But “at Focus on the Family we love the word baby,” they write, "because it's personal. It evokes the joy of life to come, and everything that makes babies human. And it all starts at conception.".
On the Focus website they seem to link ‘terminate pregnancy’ with the word fetus, and a desensitization of the woman that may lead her to stop an unwanted pregnancy.
In the video, however, it is said, as we have seen: “Call it what you want”, it is a baby, a baby.
Here you have the video which, by the way, has a subtitle outside, which goes like this: “Call it what you want, but the truth doesn't change”.
