Semantics
Pro-lifers should never use the word "abortion." It's too soft a word. To
begin with, it's the wrong terminology. The definition of abortion is the
expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it is viable outside of the womb.
In the wholesale killing of unborn children that are done today, the fetus
IS viable inside the womb. It has to be killed first. This is called a
surgical, or induced abortion. Plain abortions, which are spontaneous
abortions, are nature's way to expel a non- viable unborn child.
Before the Roe-Wade decision 31 years ago, if a woman lost her unborn
child without a surgical intervention, the doctor referred to this as an
abortion and the lay person used the term miscarriage. Now somewhere
along the line the PCKU (pro-choice to kill the unborn) has taken
liberties with semantics and uses the word abortion in place of surgical
or induced abortion.
