unborn children
Still in utero
Unborn children are fetuses or embryos still in the womb.
The phrase appears most often in discussions of abortion, where it frames the debate toward fetal personhood: protecting unborn children, the rights of unborn children.
Those who say "fetus" or "pregnancy" instead typically hold different views on the issue.
The singular unborn child carries the same connotations.
