Unborn Child Kidnapped

The Amber Alert System was used yesterday to locate a kidnapped child after her mother was killed. Zeb Stinnett, the father, said in a news conference, "I want to thank family, friends, Amber Alert and law enforcement officials for their support during this time." [more from ABC]

The gruesome news report drew international attention because at the time of the mother’s death the child was unborn, a "fetus". While news organizations struggled at first with whether to use "fetus" or "child" to describe the missing person, everyone agreed this little girl needed to be found and protected.
