Earlier today, Twitchy told you about the backlash Fox News contributor Kirstin Powers faced for questioning the heroism of Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis, who filibustered for nearly 11 hours Tuesday to prevent legislation restricting late-term abortions from reaching the floor for a vote. Davis’ newfound status as a feminist hero has won her plenty of airtime on this Sunday’s morning shows, but Powers hasn’t given up on her fight for the unborn.
No, Democrat Powers is not a medical doctor, nor is she a member of the “anti-science” Republican party. Still, she’s having trouble accepting the apparently settled science that the only difference between a baby and a “clump of cells,” embryo or fetus is that one is wanted and the other is not; take this hypothetical case, for example:

@drawandstrike @kirstenpowers10 @Auragasmic FETUS is not a euphemism you fucking idiot! It is the SCIENTIFIC WORD for what it is.

@TomJohnson314 @kirstenpowers10 @Auragasmic I don't need to "ease my conscious". I'll kill anything that attaches to my uterus.

@lulubelle56 @kirstenpowers10 @Auragasmic I'm so sick of you legislating my uterus you asshole.

Can embryos use the items gathered at a BABY shower?

Even the big media have trouble getting these terms straight. According to the New York Times, the screaming and thrashing babies Kermit Gosnell was convicted of murdering were actually “fetuses removed from their mothers.”
.@kirstenpowers10 @kaitbate No, it's a fetus.

This is getting a bit too scientific to follow, but we’ll do our best to keep up.

.@kirstenpowers10 Sex selective abortion exists because of people like you who insist women shouldn't have the right to bodily integrity.
— This Machine Kills Fascists (@RoyalHoeliness) June 28, 2013
.@kirstenpowers10 If we want girls to be valued as much as boys, we need to change the culture that insists men should have more rights

.@kirstenpowers10 It absolutely is. You KNOW women don't wait 5 months for shits and giggles. Why won't you address the real issue?
— This Machine Kills Fascists (@RoyalHoeliness) June 28, 2013
.@kirstenpowers10 If women had access to abortions (clinics AND funding) we wouldn't be having this discussion.
— This Machine Kills Fascists (@RoyalHoeliness) June 28, 2013
.@kirstenpowers10 YOU KNOW the majority of abortions that occur >5 mo are WANTED pregnancies where something goes incredibly wrong.
— This Machine Kills Fascists (@RoyalHoeliness) June 28, 2013
.@kirstenpowers10 So you intentionally muddy the waters when you should be advocating for wider access to BC, clinics and funding.

@Auragasmic @kirstenpowers10 because she's been brainwashed to hate her own gender. internalized misogyny.
— Kitty Thomas ? (@kitty_thomas) June 28, 2013
@Auragasmic @kirstenpowers10 because she's privileged and has NO fucking idea what it's like for poor people.
— Kitty Thomas ? (@kitty_thomas) June 28, 2013
We’ve established that Kirsten Powers is rich, out-of-touch and anti-woman, but we’re still fuzzy on how a fetus becomes a baby, scientifically speaking.
@kirstenpowers10 The feet Gosnell kept as souvenirs were, technically, “clumps of cells”
