A Baby-in-a-Womb as an Entity
Despite what Randroids would have you believe, a baby in a womb is an entity,1 it is an it (which they cannot help but to implicitly admit in their discussion of babies, despite their attempted de-humanisation of them). A baby in a womb is not a state of being for the mother, the baby is an entity that will die (read die not stop existing) if it is detached and not preserved by some alternative means. You can discuss this fetus as against that fetus—the baby has identity even in its fetal state. When an item is burning, what this means is that it has gotten hot, is emitting light various gasses and whatnot—this is an aspect of the burning object. When a mother is pregnant, what this means is that she is with child—she is carrying a child in her womb. You could say that the pregnancy is a relationship between the mother and the child, but it is certainly not an aspect of the mother alone.
