The fact that they have to look for new euphemisms for abortion speaks volumes.
But who knows, 'privacy' sure does sound good doesn't it? Who can object to privacy? I mean, sure, as far as Constitutional rights go, it is a phony one, an invented-out-of-thin air right, created on a whim a few years before Roe.
The GOP must be ready to make clear the truth, that when they say 'privacy' they are actually speaking of judicially-mandated abortion on demand. Just like when they say 'let the states decide on gay marriage', they actually mean that they want state courts to impose gay marriage, or just have the Sup Court impose it nationwide.
All of their talk on 'values' issues is nothing but deception and lies so long as they insist on using the Courts to do their dirty work for them.
"But who knows, 'privacy' sure does sound good doesn't it? Who can object to privacy? "
Does that mean that I can use this "right to privacy" to indulge in illegal drugs in my own home? Can I invite a prostitute to my home and "the right to privacy" would protect me? Is that what they mean?
So they hired a cunning linguist to reframe the abortion issue.
