Mummy or Not

Rachel Weisz
Tavis: I'm pleased to welcome Rachel Weisz to this program. The British-born actress is up for a Golden Globe award Monday night, for a stand out performance in “The Constant Gardener.” The film is nominated in two other categories, including best drama. If you didn’t catch the movie in theaters last year, it's out this week on DVD, thankfully. Rachel, nice to meet you, nice to have you here.
Rachel Weisz: Lovely to meet you, too.
Tavis: I should start by saying congratulations.
Weisz: Thank you.
Tavis: On a couple of different things.
Weisz: (laugh) Yeah.
Tavis: First the nomination. And then the baby.
Weisz: The baby, yeah. It's...
Tavis: So you just announced the other day you’re pregnant.
Weisz: Yeah, I'm five months now, so it's kind of safe to say out loud.
Tavis: Five months now, yeah. It's your first baby?
Weisz: First time.
Tavis: All right, so how's this feeling for you?
Weisz: Feel, right now, I'm in a good phase. The first three months were a little more tricky. You get morning sickness and a little tired, but I'm feeling quite good now. You, in the second trimester, I think you start to feel like anything is possible. (laugh) Yeah.
Tavis: So this is, you’re gonna stop working for a little bit, obviously, to be a mommy for a minute.
Earlier this week we attended a debate on abortion, sponsored jointly by the Federalist Society and the left-wing American Constitution Society. From the pro-abortion debater we learned the correct terminology for a pregnant woman and her--um, how do we say this? Her--uh, hmm--well, you know what we mean, that "thing" in her tummy. Anyway, you're not supposed to say she's a "mommy" with a "baby." That is disrespectful to women. You're supposed to say she's a "host" with a "fetus."

Q:
What would Mz Mallard do if she could decide what to do with a 5 months pregnant murdereress sentenced to death?
A:
Abort the fetus and pardon the poor murdereress.

Abortions can be had on demand, because it is a fetus, not a baby and 'its her body.'
I have never heard a liberal define at exactly what point in the pregnancy the fetus transforms into a baby...
