Why have so many people bought into the mindless phrase "abortion rights"? In the first place, whose rights does that refer to? The mother's? Or the child's right not to be aborted?
At least when this country was fighting over slavery, the Southerners had sufficient remaining scraps of human dignity not to invent the phrase "slavery rights"! They had more integrity than our abortionists.
"Abortion rights" is an attempt to finesse the issue -- to make you admit right away, from the outset, that there's a "right" to abort. But that's the whole issue we're arguing about! Don't "beg the question" by ASSUMING the point we're debating.
Left-wingers, abortion- and death-lovers, people who just want to stir up grievances and attack this society, spend ALL THEIR TIME thinking up cheap tactics like that phrase. They're busy little beavers, working away like moles all the time. Like the devil, they're very busy bodies. Too bad they can't use their powers for good instead of evil.
