I believe it is politically loaded, but that it doesn't matter here. Certainly I'm not going to bother to call these things out when it's not really the topic.
But, since we're here, I think it's loaded because it implies the fetus will be born. It kind of gives the impressions that a fetus is equivalent to a baby given enough time, hence they are unborn babies. I think that language is inherently anti-choice. It seems nitpicky but these subtle collective consciousness changes result in culture shifts over time.
