Jay Nordlinger poses an excellent question in his Impromptu column on National Review Online (click here). Mr. Nordlinger asks:

>>>A recent Kerry ad goes as follows: "The Supreme Court is just one vote away from outlawing a woman's right to choose." Choose what, Senator? Choose what? Can't you say it? "Help elect John Kerry and join the fight to protect our right to choice." Right to choice concerning . . .? If it's not so bad — certainly deserving legality — why not say it, Senator? Can't you utter the word?<<<


What a great question! If abortion is so wonderful, such a great right and one we shold cherish, why won't proabortionists even utter the "A" word? Because they know that when faced with the ugly reality of abortion, people are a lot less "prochoice". It is far easier to talk about amorphous concepts like "choice" and "reproductive health" than it is to talk about dismembering unborn children.
