wombling

Residing in or around a womb. A baby. Fetal tissue.

Womb – respects the rights of a woman’s body

Ling- recognizes that the baby/fetal tissue is a resident of the womb



Wombling was created in 2002 by Dan Dodge to help people talk about the issue of abortion with an “issue neutral” word. Pro-choice advocates may not want to refer to the word “baby” and Pro-life advocates may not wish to use the term “fetal tissue.”


There is nothing more embarrassing then telling a woman that you are excited about her baby, to only have her respond, “Well actually, I would prefer it if you call it fetal tissue, because I don’t intend to give birth.”

Example: Did you hear that Jenny got herself a wombling? I don’t think she plans to keep it long. OR did you hear that Maria has a wombling? She can’t wait to go shopping for clothes and toys.
