Apparently it is/was acceptable, at least in the U.K., to refer to children
(not just fetuses) as "it".  There are numerous places in C.S. Lewis's books
where "it" is used with the antecedent "child", with the context indicating
a child several years old.  Some of these passages were written 40 years ago!
