From Lydia, an administrator at an abortion clinic:
“Patients who have a wanted pregnancy and lose it, or choose abortions because of fetal anomalies, always call it “the baby.” It is a baby to them, developed or not… Some women never “connect” to the pregnancy… For them, it is nothing like a baby. It is just there, and they want it removed. They would hate the word “baby” and do not use it. Our job is to meet the woman where she is and provide her with accurate information. I do not feel it is my job to correct terminology as long as she has a thorough understanding of the facts.”

And what is a “thorough understanding of the facts?” See here.

Call it what you like, but it is human and a kill is a kill.
I call it the “Velveteen Rabbit” theory, as if any human being’s worth is dependent on it being “loved” by another human being. Children are not stuffed rabbit toys.

I remember seeing this video a few years ago...don’t even get me started
What facts? To my knowledge, those in the abortion industry absolutely *never* inform women of the facts about pregnancy and abortion. In fact, whenever a law is passed attempting to require abortion mills to provide full disclosure, they fight it tooth and nail.
“I do not feel it is my job to correct terminology as long as she has a thorough understanding of the facts.”
Yeah...as long as the the tiny human being’s mother has a thorough understanding of the THEIR version of “the facts”.
Same philosophy that sees gay marriage as the same as traditional, that wants to permit people to choose gender.
A nation that aborts it children is capable of any evil.
When we look around us and see our country in collapse, run by idiots and the wicked, who gleefully run roughshod over our beloved and sacred founding principles, it would be useful to remember that God cannot possibly bless a people that has enshrined infanticide in law.
As long as she has the cash. Or obamacare.
