The AMA made a subtle Orwellean medical definition modification years ago, with the onset of the invetro fertilization technology. The AMA redefined the term "pregnant" and "pregnancy" as beginning when the embryo implants into the side the the uterus. It's not logical to say that you're pregnant, when your embryos are sitting in front of you in a test tube. Clever, aren't they?

The next step was to redefine birth control. Now days, medication that pevents "implantation" is birth control, rather than an abortifacient. Abra cadabra, the morning after pill suddendly changed from early abortion to pregnancy prevention. Then, start interchanging the beginning of pregnancy with the beginning of a new independent "living being". Describe this "entity" as pre-pegnancy, potential, and inert rather than post sperm-egg fusion, resulting in a new unique (DNA) living organism, needing nothing more than I need-nutrition, shelter, and warmth!

I was at a protest once where ACT-UP members were sceaming "sperm rights now" at us. This seemd silly to me. All those people on the street could see it wasn't us. The evening news showed video of the pro-lifers with the very loud "sperm rights now" cheer audible in the back ground as if we we chanting it instead of ACT-UP. That was the day I learned that the media intentionally lies to the public.

On the other hand it's not logical to say life doesn't begin until "implantation" when you have a living being in a test tube right in front of you. I think the pro-abortion lobby checkmated themselves with that angle.
