"Abortion" is a Made-up Word for the Murder of Children

 Most conservatives fail to gain traction in the 'abortion' debate because we fight on a battleground carefully delineated by our opponents. This battleground is the words we use, which narrow the perceptions in the public mind and make the "abortion" issue - which is the slaughter of children - seem like any issue upon which reasonable people can disagree. The question of whether we should allow people, who happen to have a medical license and are allowed, by a horrific perversion of the word, to call themselves doctors, to engage in the wanton and brutal slaughter of over one million children each year, is not something on which there can be grounds for disagreement.

 The murder of children is wrong, whatever we call it. It is not an issue like hydroelectric power v. coal power or even like immigration or health care. On those issues, perhaps the jury is out, but we have been deceived, mostly by ourselves, to believe that both sides in the 'abortion' debate are presenting reasonable arguments.

 Consider, too, the terms "pro-choice" and "pro-life." The manifest lopsidedness of these terms is another valley in which those against the murder of children crouch helplessly while pelted from above by arguments made by those supporting medically sanctioned murder. Why the anti-abortion camp has allowed itself to be saddled with such a milquetoast term is beyond me. Again, these terms merely frame the argument as if both sides are being reasonable. "Well," we can tell ourselves, "it's important to value life, and it's important to value choices. So both side have a point, and I guess they'll just have to debate it, while the Supreme Court conveniently sanctions the deaths of millions." Those who support the medical murder of children can only be delighted to have 'leveled' the playing field as such. What is called a pro-life position should be called a pro-child, or anti-murder position. The "pro-choice" movement should be labeled the "pro-child murder" movement. Of course, if these labels were applied, they would obliterate the fog of reasonableness surrounding the issue.

 It is unreasonable to allow 'doctors' - all of whom should have their licenses stripped away and be convicted of murder - to kill millions of children. This is the simple fact. Anything else is just window-dressing.
