We'll set aside the fact an opthamologist is opining on abortion for a moment and focus on what I call malicious semantics.
Up until two seconds ago, the word abortion had a very clear, specific meaning: the termination of a pregnancy resulting in the death of the fetus.
Most Americans support some restrictions on abortion, and most support limited abortion parameters on-par with those in Europe, where third trimester/late-term abortions are restricted.
But the American Left want no restrictions. We've gone from 'safe, legal, and rare' to 'SHOUT YOUR ABORTION' in the last five years.
And now they're trying to say your delivery is also a form of abortion.
See what the game is here?
Now they're classifying abortion as the termination of a pregnancy, rather than the termination of an unborn child.
And because delivery a baby -- whether vaginally or via C-section -- is also the termination of a pregnancy, it's technically an abortion. Therefore, every woman who has ever given birth has had at least one abortion!
See? It's normal and common and you can't object to abortion because you're objecting to having babies!
We must absolutely put a stop to this Orwellian game of semantics. Do not let the Left reclassify the delivery of a living baby as an abortion in their attempt to normalize a grotesque, inhumane evil.
That's what abortion is. While I recognize that I am in the political minority on this, abortion should be banned. Without exception. A baby conceived in rape is no less human and worthy of life than the babies who were a product of my marriage. It's wrong, and it's impossible to make an argument why we should allow abortion in some circumstances, but not those other circumstances.
