In light of certain recent government regulations redefining “child” to mean anyone under the age of 18, I would like to propose that we should adjust other terms for people of specific ages to match this new and increasingly popular language regime:
Child: Ages 13-17 Toddler: Ages 9-12 Infant: Ages 5-8 Newborn: Age 2-4 Foetus: Under 2 years old
It makes even less sense in the UK where 16 year olds can legally vote and consent to sex, but not listen to explicit songs on Spotify.
And as they always should have been, 18-24 year old will be called “Big Kids”.
So I can finally abort those crying foetuses on my next plane flight depending on which state we’re over
A fetus is unborn, not a child at all.

Do you mind citing a source for that?
Thank you! 😊
