The Language of a Bothered Conscience:
Here’s an article covering the recent Federal Abortion Trial…
>The government often used “dismemberment” where Planned Parenthood said “disarticulation,” used “head” instead of “calvarium,” and used “kill,” while many doctors prefer “cause fetal demise.”
It’s human nature to not want to deal with the things that make us uncomfortable. We are capable of rationalizing just about anything while we sacrifice logic and truth in the process. A good example is the language used in this recent court case. The terms that describe an activity do nothing to change the activity itself. So why are people using such confusing, contrived language to describe an activity that is inherently understood. After all, these are people pleading the case FOR the legality of partial birth abortion…why can’t they stand up and boldly, proudly say that they are for this? I think they are having a hard time looking at it in the eyes without turning away. If I’m not ashamed of something, I will be open and forthcoming in telling others about it. If I can’t do that…something is wrong.
I need an aspirin, as all of this smoke and mirrors is giving me a ‘calvarium’ ache, I need something to ’cause poena demise.’
