If you are losing the war of words— change the language

Like most hard left-leaning activists, associations and their affiliates, National Public Radio (NPR), which published a Guide on how to properly use adjectives and phrases on the abortion debate, is—FETUS OBSESSED.

“The guidance cautioned reporters against describing the “fetal heartbeat” bills as referring to the heartbeat of a fetus — they instead say the heartbeat can be detected weeks before the embryo develops into a fetus. (The Blaze, May 22, 2019)

The abortion industry is obsessed with fetuses for exactly the same reason the petroleum industry is obsessed with oil.

The article agrees with at one of my medical textbooks.

heartbeat - 5 to 6 weeks

embryo -> human-form fetus - ~12 weeks

The best way to reduce abortions is to improve the quality of birth control.

Birth control has about a 5% annual failure rate, mainly because women don’t always take their pills.

Putting pills into smart boxes that call a woman’s cell phone if a pill isn’t taken within say 27 hours of a previous pill would improve birth control quality.

All birth control methods except abstinence, Hysterectomies and castration fail even if done properly.

Abstinence can be hard to do, as sin is pleasurable for a season and sin is common to man.

That leaves two which always work.

Of the remaining methods (all of which can fail) tubal ligations and vasectomies are the least likely to fail.

Raising children is better than what you do to get them anyway.

"The best way to reduce abortions is to improve the quality of birth control."

The best way to reduce abortions is to improve the quality of self-control.

The problem, boys and girls,is not what's between our legs. It's what's between our ears.

The Catholic method is the only method that is pleasing to God that involves No contraception - Of which all methodologies are against the teachings of the book

Except, that doesn't work. My family is pretty hardcore traditional Catholic, and my two youngest siblings were both accidents..
