  1. Wow, this might as well be a page torn straight out of the appendix of George Orwell's 1984: "The Principles of Newspeak". As Robert George points out: people who want to kill other people invariably develop and deploy forms of rhetoric designed to dehumanize the victims.

    A quotation from the article: The term “unborn” implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman, not a fetus. Babies are not babies until they are born. They’re fetuses. Incorrectly calling a fetus a “baby” or “the unborn” is part of the strategy used by antiabortion groups to shift language/legality/public opinion.
