On Life Matters we discuss life, culture, and the battle of ideas and those ideas are often expressed in words and phrases. We must be aware of the true meaning of the words and phrases that are often misleading us to get us to accept the killing of other human beings. One such example is the phrase “terminating a pregnancy”. But, pregnancy is a condition. It does not necessitate killing a human being. For example, most pregnancies are terminated in a very natural way. It’s called birth! The use of such a phrase, “terminating a pregnancy” is dishonest and meant to cover up what’s really being done. It’s as if a murderer, who is planning to kill his wife declares, “I think we need to end our marriage.” While it is true that murdering his wife will end the marriage, it doesn’t reveal what is really at stake. It’s intentionally misleading and so is the language that is used to kill vulnerable human babies.
