Strike this word from your abortion debate vocabulary

July 23, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The word is “consequence.” “Consequence” has two closely related meanings. First, it can be used to indicate a cause-and-effect relationship, synonymous with the word “result.” A consequence may be positive, negative, or neutral: Monique studied hard over the weekend. As a consequence, she aced her final exam. Joe smoked cigarettes for thirty years. As a […]

Behind Enemy Lines: Undercover at a NARAL training session

March 12, 2018/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

All over the country, student and activist pro-life groups regularly meet to discuss the intimidating task of developing a sound messaging program to effectively reach members of their communities. Which key words will connect with women the most? How do we handle the most difficult questions with the appropriate amount of care? Often overlooked in […]

The word “fetus” is nothing to fear — or to censor

December 17, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Correction: It now appears that the list of words was not a strict ban, and that the list came not from the Trump administration, but from within the CDC itself. * * * Last Friday, news broke that the Trump administration has instructed the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) not to use the words “evidence-based,” […]

Explainer: Planned Parenthood Defunding Votes

April 3, 2017/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

The AHCA, which included a Planned Parenthood defunding provision, tanked. Last week, a Planned Parenthood defunding measure passed the Senate and awaits the President’s signature. Now, pro-life organizations are demanding another Planned Parenthood defunding vote. If you’re not intimately familiar with these battles, your understandable reaction must be what on earth is going on?? Today’s […]

Pro-choicers oppose informed consent. Again.

July 29, 2016/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by LN

Texas law mandates that women seeking an abortion must be given an informational pamphlet on abortion and then wait 24 hours before undergoing an abortion procedure. This pamphlet was created in 2003 and is now being updated to reflect more current knowledge of fetal development and the effects of abortion. The new pamphlet was made […]

Lies, Damned Lies, and Planned Parenthood Polls

December 14, 2015/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Poll results are easily manipulated by the wording of the question. USA Today gives a perfect example: In the poll, 46% agreed with the statement: “Heated political rhetoric about Planned Parenthood and abortion bear some of the responsibility for what happened” in the [Colorado Springs] shooting. In contrast, 36% agreed with the statement: “The event […]

Words Matter

April 10, 2015/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Language is one of the most important aspects of being human. It’s what sets us apart from animals. Language is how we communicate our desires and our needs. Language helps us understand and make sense of the world around us, and it lets us make distinctions so we can know how one thing differs from […]

Notes on the Supreme Court pregnancy discrimination case

December 5, 2014/35 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Young v. UPS, which concerns the interpretation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The interpretation being advocated by the defendant would seriously undermine protections for pregnant mothers in the workplace—creating increased pressure to abort. As a result, the case attracted numerous amicus briefs, including one signed by 23 […]

PP moves away from “pro-choice” label.

January 15, 2013/6 Comments/in Uncategorized /by admin

[Today’s post is re-posted from “Yeah, but…“] Planned Parenthood is moving away from the term “pro-choice” in response polls showing dissatisfaction with abortion debate labels. “I’m neither pro-choice nor pro-life,” said one woman in a focus group commissioned by Planned Parenthood. “I’m pro-whatever-the-situation is.” Said another, “there should be three: pro-life, pro-choice and something in the […]

The Language Disconnect

May 22, 2012/13 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

[Today’s post is written by guest blogger KB.] Let’s set the record straight.  Pro-Choicers: When talking about abortion, the vast majority of pro-lifers do not hate women.  They do not think women should be subservient to men, should have no life outside of childrearing and most don’t even believe the government should stand in the way of women […]
