Spend any time talking to defenders of abortion, and pretty soon you’ll notice that more than a few words seem to suddenly change meanings. No, you’re not going crazy; pro-aborts simply find that some…creative…tweaking of the English language is necessary to make their logic work.
Fortunately, we’re here to help. Armed with this guide to Team Abortion’s most common linguistic fictions, you can spend less of your next rhetorical excursion deciphering sophistry, and more time dismantling it. Here we focus on redefinitions surrounding the debate’s basic medical facts; Part 2 will set them straight on ethical terminology.

When I get to re-define the language and all its terms, I can win any argument I want to engage in.
Half the frustration of Common Core math - the terms for addition, subtraction, multiplication, word problems all change. Then you get new terms for tests, group work, “algebra” concepts.
And parents who don’t know what the new stuff means are deemed stupid, and kids question their parents intelligence if they can’t help with the kid’s homework.
He misuses the word “comprise.”
“Comprise” does not mean “compose.”
I developed a math block in second grade. And I developed all sorts of dysfunctional, inefficient ways of doing math.
From what I can tell, Common Core teaches ALL children to use the roundabout, inefficient techniques I developed on my own.
One of them is this business of “making tens.”
Human being: According to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif) an unborn baby is defined as a human being based upon whether the mother wants to keep it.
“The most private and painful of decisions” = “I’ll miss a semester at community college”.
Indeed. As if killing a unique genetic code of a child or being gay was diversity.
Or take the word choice that denies choice, because “women who are poor have no choice”.
So much Orwellianism for the death cult.
Pelosi said it should be the expert doctor’s decision... as if we could equate a doctor who could get sued for messing up a live birth vs one who obviously cannot botch killing “it”.
The term doctor has been debauched like everything else in communism.
The more I learn about Common Core, the prouder I am of my daughter who is home-schooling her five children.
