Actually, accurate language about women's reproduction in general is extremely important, especially since women are judged by their sexual practices. A few weeks ago, a guy on Maury had the following defense as to why he wasn't the father of his ex's baby: "I had sex with her, and two weeks later, she tells me she's pregnant!" That's actually how it works! And then there was that one case about a woman who believed she wasn't informed about what abortion is before she had one, because the doctor said the embryo was "just tissue" and the nurse later told her the embryo was a "baby."
