PC Police offended ...not by abortion but by the using the word in vain

 Oh this is rich....PC police are offended that the word abortion is thrown around carelessly and used in vain. They agonize that using the words to describe something bad will reflect poorly on those who have had abortions, make their living performing abortions or pols who support abortions with their votes.  Ya, think!!

Yes, lets keep the word hallowed so as not to cast a "stigma upon this important component of hallowed justice." Recently in TN, they had newscasts about schools teaching anti  bullying classes and telling students not to use the word retarded even if their intent was not mean. Now they are going to have to have classes to teach them to say the word abortion with the respect that it deserves. Say why do they call  themselves the Abortion Gang...sounds like they are using the term loosely and without the reverence  it deserves. I agree with them....abortion is not a punch line or a joke. How about this.

ABORTION KILLS CHILDREN

It seems like every decade has its non-PC, misused term to indicate failure.  The ’90s had “gay” and the ’00s had “retarded” and now it seems that ’10 is starting off this decade with “abortion,” as in “that movie was an abortion” or “you’re a failed abortion.”  While “retarded” meant something that does not work before it was used to describe the mentally handicapped, and “gay” referred to being happy before it was used to describe a sexual orientation, “abortion” has always meant ending a pregnancy – and it is the only word for it.

Sure, there are hazy euphemisms and oblique references like “taking care of a problem” and arch terms like “intentional miscarriage” or “termination of pregnancy,” an abortion is an abortion – period, which means that every time someone refers to a bad driver as a “failed abortion” they push abortion – and every reproductive justice activist, woman who has had an abortion, doctor who performs these procedures, and pro-choice politicians  further out of the realm of mainstream acceptance.  We don’t need the word “abortion” to become more used unless it is used to describe a procedure to end a pregnancy.  I would rather the term “abortion” remain spoken out loud only in the safe haven that clinics and select OB/GYN offices have become than be bastardized by those ignorant individuals prone to outrageous overstatement and exaggeration.  And yes, that is what you sound like when you use words like “gay” and “retarded” and “abortion” to describe what you don’t like – ignorant and ridiculous.

People know hundreds, maybe thousands of words to describe how they feel about their day, their week, their friends, family, the television shows they watch, the music they hear and the world they interact with, from the time that we are mere toddlers.  So why resort to using inaccurate terms that make you sound like an idiot, and stigmatize an important component of reproductive justice?
