You are doing some serious projecting and I’m really baffled as to where it’s coming from.


I'm guessing it stems from the semantic game you're simultaneously playing and claiming no part of.

I don’t have any “approved terminology. I’m interested in the terminology that people use. Again, I said this earlier, you can use whatever terminology you want. What I’m also interested in is knowing whether or not you think that aborting that ______________ is taking a life?


You're insisting that abortion is "taking a life" when you know very well that phrase is as loaded a term as those you are distancing yourself from.

When I turn off the vasopressors on a patient believed to have no cortical function whatsoever, at the request of the power of attorney, would you describe that as me "taking a life?" Or would you describe catching a fish or picking fresh vegetables for dinner as "taking a life?" I'm guessing no.

Abortion in the vast majority of cases prevents a potentially viable independent person from developing. I think everyone can agree on that, and doesn't involve loaded terms that are synonymous with human-specific homicide or murder.
