Definitions of words from Decode pro-abortion talking points with the Choicespeak-to-English Dictionary

http://liveactionnews.org/decode-pro-abortion-talking-points-with-the-choicespeak-to-english-dictionary-part-1/

Pregnancy—In an effort to sow confusion and ambiguity about the abortifacient capacity of certain birth control methods, pro-aborts have taken to arguing that “pregnant” only means carrying an embryo that has successfully implanted in the uterus, and that therefore anything that prevents implantation merely “prevents pregnancy” instead of “causes an abortion.” Leaving aside the fact that this doesn’t change the key issue (whether the embryo dies as a result), they’re short on substance here too.

James Agresti quotes five medical texts declaring that pregnancy begins with fertilization, Merriam-Webster simply defines pregnancy as “the condition of a woman or female animal that is going to have a baby or babies,” and 2011 survey of over a thousand OB/GYNs found 57% agreeing that pregnancy begins at conception, while only 28% said implantation—making their lectures on “medical facts” little more than wishful thinking.

In other words, you are trying to convince me that there is no moral or functional equivalence between preventing pregnancy or terminating it before birth.

That is the exact same message that Planned Parenthood told me in high school.

How in the world can you convince a young pro-abortion woman that your message is somehow superior to Planned Parenthood’s message?

I honestly don’t care what a young couple (married or not) does. But I do care, a lot, if the young couple fails to take any measures to prevent pregnancy, and instead kills one or more of their children. Destroying life is wrong. Preventing life is no big deal.
