B-A-B-Y -- Why Can't The Houston Chronicle Use The Right Word?

Have we descended so far into the depths of pro-abortion political correctness that using the word "baby" is now forbidden?

A full-term fetus was found in a southwest Houston apartment Sunday after the mother went to the hospital, police said. Nurses at Ben Taub General Hospital became suspicious when the woman arrived there about 8 a.m., police said.

"It looked as if she had just given birth," said John Cannon, an HPD spokesman.

Hospital workers called police when the woman denied having a baby. Officers found the fetus inside the apartment in the 5100 block of South Willow.

Although the fetus appeared fully developed, HPD investigators couldn't say whether it was the result of a miscarriage or had been born.

"We'll have to wait on the medical examiners to rule on what happened, exactly, to the baby," said Sgt. Bobby Roberts, with HPD's homicide division.

The mother, about 23, was still at the hospital later Sunday, where detectives expected to question her again. They also want to speak with the father.

If we are talking about a "full-term fetus", then miscarriage is not an option. What we have is either a live-birth or a still-birth of a BABY! Why can't the Houston Chronicle have the decency to acknowledge as much?
