Rogan: I'm almost afraid to ask, but what did they think it SHOULD be called? And at least the mother thing makes sense with their logic; to them, all fetuses/blastocysts/embryos are children, ergo everyone who ever has one is a mother.
Mori: Euphemisms just annoy me, in general. You see a TON of them when it comes to rape. "Child sexual abuse" gives a lot of room for people to weasel around, go, "Well, ANYTHING could be child sexual abuse! A look, totally up to interpretation, could be child sexual abuse!" They bank on me not being willing to go into disgusting detail. Pisses me off.
