Calling Things by their Real Names # 1

Thanks to the valuable teaching from Ron Galloy, Director – Life: God’s Sacred Choice
•Deceptive Vocabulary – Abortion “clinic” Honest Vocabulary is Abortion Site
Clinics are for health care and health care excludes killing. Calling the place where someone is killed a “clinic” assaults the dignity of the one who is killed. Instead, the places where unborn people are killed are abortion sites, child killing sites, abortion chambers, abortion mills, and abortuaries. Proper phrasing disconnects killing from health care and instills sensitivity for the lives of unborn people.
•Abortion “debate”/ “Issue” Honest Vocabulary is Abortion problem
Murder is not an issue or debate because life is a human right. As a human right a moral duty exists to defend it, even by those who advocate its destruction. The term abortion problem is correct wording because it is the problem of murder itself.
•Abortion “rights” Honest Vocabulary - Honest Vocabulary is Killing children
Killing can never be a human right and calling it such can never make it so. Instead, it’s like calling a wolf a sheep to gain acceptance of the wolf and epitomizes the prophets words – Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Is. – 5’20. No one who calls abortion a “right” would want to have been aborted them self, which demonstrates the hypocrisy. Killing unborn children is the correct term.
• “Anti-abortion” – Honest Vocabulary is Right to Life
Anti-Abortion is media tag applied to pro-life people. It is not a good term for pro-lifers to be calling themselves, not because it isn’t true but because it’s negative and awkward terminology. Pro-Life and Right to Life are positive expressions that better promote the cause of life.
•“Bias” and “balanced” reporting –Honest Vocabulary is Honest and dishonest reporting
Often it’s heard that the media’s abortion coverage is “biased,” so what is needed is “balance.” This concept is not strong enough however, so neither are the words.
Why? Because bias and balance infer the subjective. Implied are that two valid sides exist, but one isn’t being sufficiently covered. This is not the case. In the case of killing there is no other valid side. Such a case needs to be correctly presented. On racism, the media presents it as wrong. Trent Lott and Jimmy the Great are examples. Like racism, and more profoundly so killing is wrong. Therefore, it must be presented that way to be objective. In any other context it’s dishonest journalism. {To be continued}
