Abortion Debate

i'm a guy so i should just learn my lesson and stay out of this, but i'm also a cellarite and that requires me to stick my nose in. er, something to that effect.

i think what OC is getting at is that what bothers her is when people use euphamisms to minimalize the importance of their decision.

i understand that because i feel the same way when listening to military members talk about the experiences they've had in "eliminating enemy combatants". that one busts my chaps. when we pull the trigger, we end lives. we kill people. we destroy families. if you can't do your job without having to depersonalize it with euphamisms, you shouldn't be a trigger puller.

from my perspective, it is ending a life. a woman has a legal right to do that, but euphamisms bug me.
