The fetus lacks mobility. For his or her purposes, he is always detained by the mother.

¿Please stop calling it a "fucking fetus"? You are offending not only me and people I care for, but also yourself.

I’m not sure offense works in a way where you can decide someone else is offended on their behalf

That’s why I was careful to couch it in “I’m not sure”, always open to being corrected when I’m wrong

This is really a poor justification for suppressing speech. There will always be someone who is offended.

Is "fucking fetus" speech that should be protected?

Of course. Why should it be suppressed? Profanity is a natural part of language.
