unborn child
Baby in utero
An unborn child is a human fetus still in the womb.
The phrase carries deliberate weight—those who say unborn child rather than fetus typically wish to emphasize the humanity of the developing life, often in contexts involving abortion debates or fetal rights.
The law recognized the unborn child as a victim of the crime.
