Is there somthing about the culture of death that makes it especially deceptive?

We're all familiar with the re-definition of "embryo","conception", and "pregnancy" and to begin at implantation. Thus Plan B can't cause abortion and embryonic stem cell research can't kill embryos. Again, in Oregon I understand that suicide has been re-defined to not include assisted suicide.

I just looked at the new Mexico City law. It actually does not legalize abortion in the first 12 weeks. Rather, it simply defines "aborto" to include only "interruptions" (another odd word) of pregnancy after the first 12 weeks. ("Aborto es la interrupción del embarazo después de la décima segunda semana de gestación.")

So much for informed consent: "Don't worry, Senora. What we're doing here today is not an abortion."
