Late-Term Abortion Provider Gunned Down In Church

[Don Corleone]

It actually wasn't an argument. It was simply me getting tired of word-swaps, the fact that people who change words like this all the time are seen as loonies, and, finally, because I had to use more time reading his posts, by figuring out whether he actually meant killing as in "abortion", or killing is in "killing"...

Also, there's the whole "being polite to others"-thingy. While I may not have anything against my sister(she's had an abortion) being called a killer, murderer or whatever, it may be a sore point with others. For someone who considers a 3-week old fetus a human being, you should certainly understand that such things can upset people.

You appear to be speaking in circles. We should refrain from using the term "kill" because it might hurt the sensibilities of people who "made a choice to remove some extraneous tissue"? If all they did was "make a choice...", why would they have any sensibilities on the matter to offend? I'm sorry your sister went through such a horrific ideal, but that doesn't mean I'm going to change my statements, just to avoid hurting her feelings, especially since I presume its an ordeal she chose with full knowledge of what she was doing.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to let you unilateraly define the vocabulary for the debate. Words matter. We view it as taking a human life, which is why we say kill. If that bothers you, I'm sorry. I don't use the word kill to poke a finger in your eye... if that was my intent, I would refer to you as pro-abortion, not the pro-choice tag you prefer. I find it mildly irritating when people refer to me as anti-choice, but such is their right.

And where did the 3 weeks come from? The good doctor was performing elective abortions in the 3rd trimester.
