| The left routinely slants discussion of its positions by defining them in terms that prejudice the argument, to the point of intellectual dishonesty. For example, nothing is to me more egregious than calling the pro-abortion position as “pro-choice? or “respecting a woman’s right to choose? A human life, a child, begins at the moment of conception. To argue otherwise is sophistry. To intentionally interrupt this life is simply akin to murder. It sounds plausible that women should have the right to govern the use of their own bodies. But we are not only concerned about her body, from conception forward the child also has a right to its life. After all a woman does not become pregnant because a random bolt of lightening happened to strike the ground in her vicinity. Pregnancy is the result of a very specific act. For most, without surgical intervention, sexual activity always carries some risk of pregnancy and the responsibilities that go with it. This is when “choice?is truly exercised. No, the “pro-choice?position does not respect a woman’s right to choose, it seeks to escape responsibility for choices made. |
