Editorial: Say No to Deadly Loaded Language. There are No 'Abortion Rights'

'During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.' (George Orwell)

Abortion is feticide. Its horror is being concealed by deadly loaded language intended to make it sound acceptable. Its advocates have fashioned a "rights language" to even try to make it sound noble. They have repeated the phrase "abortion rights", "abortion rights", "abortion rights"…. ad nauseam. Their collaborators in much of the media use this deadly loaded language without even thinking about what they are actually saying, or writing.

.....One of my morning reads each day is the popular "inside the beltway" political publication entitled "Politico." There is little doubt that it has at least an implicit partisan political slant but it is usually the first source for breaking political news. However, Wednesday morning one of its feature articles revealed how corrupted so much reporting has become.

Most of the media is now using deadly loaded language. In doing so it is also promoting universal deceit, that there is some "right" to kill children in the womb. We have accepted this universal deceit and deadly loaded language at our own peril. It is an example of Orwellian "New Speak" which obscures the insidious nature of an evil which is rotting our culture from the inside out.

In his 1946 essay entitled "Politics and the English Language" George Orwell wrote that "One ought to recognize that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end."

In an article entitled "Abortion is bill's remaining hurdle", written on March 10 by Patrick O´Connor, I read the following paragraph which demonstrates my point. The reporter was writing about the continuing Health care Reform effort and the disagreement between those who want to pass the Senate Bill which will fund abortions and those who insist that abortion is not health care. O´Connor wrote:

"The problem at this point is that supporters of abortion rights, including many of the speaker´s (Nancy Pelosi) closest allies, have voted to oppose any bill that includes Stupak´s (Bart Stupak, a Pro-Life Democrat) restrictions. On the flip side, Stupak has said at least 10 colleagues will oppose a bill that doesn´t include them. If both claims are true, that would make it almost impossible for party leaders in the House to get the 216 votes they need to pass the measure."

The notion that one method of intentionally killing an entire class of human persons should be called a "right" is despicable. Abortion is a lethal action which always takes an innocent human life. However, the phrase "abortion rights" is an example of the "decay of language" of which Orwell wrote. Actions do not have "rights". Only human persons can have "rights." The shorthand phrase "abortion rights" is a linguistic tool used by journalists who are themselves tools of the proponents of the abortion deception....

No. They kept their holocaust secret.

Hitler paid the people of Germany the compliment of keeping his worst crimes secret.

Which is evidence that the general population of the U.S. today is more morally and intellectually corrupt than the general population of Nazi Germany.

And I never heard anyone say, about Auschwitz and Buchenwald: “There are good people on both sides of this issue.” Or: “Mr. Goering is a good man, a good family man. We just happen to have some very serious policy differences.”
