Isn't English a wonderful language? Someone on the other side of that
issue might have said "his work to defend legal and safe abortions instead
of coat hangers" to describe the very same actions :-).


What else would you call leaving a born-alive infant left to die in a
closet after a "botched" abortion? That was the subject of the
legislation. That legislation was brought into consideration because these
situations actually happened. You can call it what you want, but the fact
that the victim of that "legal and safe abortion" could have survived had
medical care been given doesn't leave a whole lot of wiggle room to call it
anything other than infanticide.

It seems there's red English and blue English.


Yeah, I know, the ugliness of the truth hurts that feel-good feeling about
the "right to choose", doesn't it?

Not to mention real English from across the pond :-).
