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:
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.
