Abortee would be a great term for pro-choicers to use. It's even more clinical sounding than the term fetus. By using a term such as this, it will be even easier to convince people that abortion is not the murder of a living creature who doesn't have a say in the matter.

But why not go even further? Since we really don't want people thinking that the fetus is an actual person, the suffix 'ee' might give them the wrong idea. How about the term abortation, defined as the product of an abortion? Or even further, how about ejected biohazardous material? Because that's really what it is, isn't it?
