baby rabies

(n) the name given to the lapse of sanity in which a person feels that s/he absolutely MUST have a baby in the very near future, and will often go to great lengths to get pregnant and will bitch constantly about wanting a baby in the meantime. Usually happens in women, but men get it occasionally, as well.

Crazy person: "Oh my GOD! If I don't have a baby soon it will be too late and I will be unfulfilled! I want a baby right now!"
Sane person: *shakes head* "Worst cast of baby rabies I ever saw..."

oops

(v) to engage in sexual intercourse with the intent, unbeknownst to the partner, of causing a pregnancy. This word is used specifically in instances where one partner believes that birth control is intact or being used, while the other has damaged/removed birth control without the knowledge or consent of the first partner, for an ulterior motive such as forcing the partner into a shotgun wedding situation as a means of securing the partner as a mate, or producing a child that the partner does not yet/ever want. This may include but is not limited to intentionally missing the Pill, removing diaphragms, or poking holes in a condom. Although more commonly done by women, men have also engaged in oopsing.
Oopsing involves an obscene abuse and betrayal of the partner's trust, not to mention the objectification of the partner into someone whose plans to remain childless, for whatever reason, no longer matter. Oopsing is thusly one of the most disgusting acts imaginable, and ought to be a prosecutable offence.

'How could you oops your lover? Shame on you for stooping to such betrayal!'

Fetus

1: a blob of cells which, as it differentiates, forms a parasitic relationship with a host body, often referred to as the 'mother' (the fetus takes nutrients from the mother and returns nothing, thus the term 'parasite'). The parasitism often lasts well after the pregnancy, during which the fetus resides within the body of the mother; in some species the post-birth parasitism lasts 18 years or more. Not to be confused with a human being, which is what a fetus is called only after being pushed through the birth canal of another human being.
2: A good source of stem cells, which are cells that have yet to differentiate into a specific type of cell. For some reason, stem cell research is a very controversial issue.
Note: In some human cultures, especially those with screwed up priorities, feti have more rights than the human women in which they germinate.

Stem cells from a fetus can help the disabled by regenerating into needed cells in damaged parts of their bodies.

adoption

taking a familyless child into one's home and family, to care for it as one's own.

A lot of anti-choicers think that people should opt for adoption rather than abortion, but how many of those up-for-adoption children have the pro-lifers adopted? The problem with adoption is that thanks to 'great' innovations such as IVF and other means of forcing the body to become pregnant when it clearly thinks that it is a bad idea (i.e., harmful recessive genes, repeated miscarriages, etc.), people no longer have to resort to adoption to get the child they so badly want since they'd rather have a child of their own. Out of those few who do adopt, they usually only adopt healthy newborn babies, while handicapped and older children must grow up without families. There are far more children who are up for adoption than who are being adopted... sad but true.

forced-birther

1: Someone who believes that abortion is wrong to the extent that they wish to ban abortions for everyone, thus forcing women who have been raped, had birth control fail, have a life-threatening pregnancy, or have a terminally defective fetus to carry their feti to term. Also known by the alternate term 'anti-choice' and the more innocent-sounding 'pro-life'.
2: Someone who believes that the rights of an undifferentiated blob of cells that is nowhere near recognizable as human (or anything else, for that matter) has rights that far surpass, in both importance and magnitude, those of the fully formed, living, breathing, thinking individual whom the cells have parasitized.
Note: some forced-birthers even go so far as to bomb abortion clinics in an attempt to kill abortion-performing doctors. Ironically, they do this because they feel that life is so damned sacred. (See also: hypocrite)

Forced-birthers would set a far better example if they stopped screeching at all the pro-choicers and adopted some of the unwanted children who wound up in orphanages because they changed the minds of the women who got pregnant with them.

village

1: a small, mostly self-contained settlement of people, usually with connotations of pre-industrial society.
2: what some say it takes a whole one of to raise a child.
3: what others say it only takes one child to raze.
4: what the same others say it takes the idiot of to have a child.

''It takes a whole village to raise *a* child'? How about a one-child-per-village limit, then?'

pro-choice

a political view that believes that abortion should continue to be legal and accessible. Pro-choice is not necessarily pro-abortion, but merely being in support of a woman's having the option available. People who follow this view would not necessarily opt for abortion themselves, but do not wish to deny others the option.

Pro-choice is not an antithesis to pro-life; while the pro-life view would force women to give birth, pro-choice would not force them to abort.
