NEWSPEAK: "Freedom of choice"

ORIGINAL MEANING: The idea that a person can choose among different options

NEW MEANING: The idea that it is legal to kill a baby inside her mother's womb

The abortion debate has created many newspeak terms. This is probably the most known.

Choice to do what? All of us enjoy freedom, but the meaning of freedom must be understood.

Freedom cannot exist absolutely (unless you are the last man on Earth) without being limited in some circumstances by the freedom of others.

In this case, since two human beings are directly involved, the mother and the baby, "freedom of choice" absolutely ignores the inalienable right to life of the baby, and privileges the so called "right to privacy" of the mother. In addition, the somewhat less important rights of the father are also ignored.

By making "freedom of choice" a woman's issue, another inconsistency is revealed: in more than 50% of the cases the baby being killed is a woman. Women's rights, you say? 

Canada remains the only nation on Earth where this "freedom of choice" can be exercised at any time during pregnancy, until the day of birth and  even AFTER birth (in some cases, when aborted babies are born alive and left to starve).
