\"Dictionary\"Spend any time talking to defenders of abortion, and pretty soon you\u2019ll notice that more than a few words seem to suddenly change meanings. No, you\u2019re not going crazy; pro-aborts simply find that some \u2026\u00a0creative \u00a0<\/em>\u2026tweaking of the English language is necessary to make their logic work.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we\u2019re here to help. Armed with this guide to Team Abortion\u2019s most common linguistic fictions, you can spend less of your next rhetorical excursion deciphering sophistry, and more time dismantling it. Here we focus on redefinitions surrounding the debate\u2019s basic medical facts; Part 2<\/a> will set them straight on ethical terminology.<\/p>\n

Human<\/strong>\/Human<\/strong>\u00a0Being<\/strong>\u2014An\u00a0organism<\/a>\u00a0is \u201ca living being,\u201d an \u201cindividual constituted to carry on the activities of life by means of organs separate in function but mutually dependent,\u201d and a human or human being is simply an organism that belongs to the human species,\u00a0Homo sapiens<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The average dictionary admits as much; Merriam-Webster defines a\u00a0zygote<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cthe developing individual produced from\u201d the \u201ccell formed by the union of two gametes,\u201d an\u00a0embryo<\/a>\u00a0as a \u201cdeveloping human individual,\u201d and a\u00a0fetus<\/a>\u00a0as \u201ca developing human.\u201d But don\u2019t take my word for it; take that of Princeton bioethics professor Peter Singer, a\u00a0radical<\/a>\u00a0abortion proponent who is notorious in part because he so zealously defends the killing without playing rhetorical games. He\u00a0says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It is possible to give \u2018human being\u2019 a precise meaning. We can use it as equivalent to \u2018member of the species Homo sapiens\u2019. Whether a being is a member of a given species is something that can be determined scientifically, by an examination of the nature of the chromosomes in the cells of living organisms. In this sense there is no doubt that from the first moments of its existence an embryo conceived from human sperm and eggs is a human being.<\/em><\/p>\n

Abortion defenders routinely deny this by adding various qualifiers to the term, such as\u00a0dependence\/viability<\/a>,\u00a0consciousness<\/a>,\u00a0pain sensitivity<\/a>,\u00a0outward appearance<\/a>,\u00a0developmental level<\/a>, or\u00a0ability<\/a>. But \u201chuman being\u2019s\u201d definition isn\u2019t contingent on any of them. If even a pro-choicer as zealous as Singer can be honest about this, what excuse do his fellow travelers have?<\/p>\n

Alive<\/strong>\u2014Those qualifiers are also frequently cited to deny that an embryo is truly alive. But as Josh Brahm\u00a0notes<\/a>, \u201cbiologists generally agree that when an organism grows through cellular reproduction, metabolizes food into energy, and reacts to stimuli, it\u2019s biologically alive.\u201d (James Agresti elaborates on how embryos meet all those criteria\u00a0here<\/a>.) That\u2019s all it takes to qualify. Nor are they only alive in the sense that your arm or a skin cell is \u201calive,\u201d i.e., consisting of organic matter. Those are merely the parts that\u00a0comprise<\/em>\u00a0organisms, whereas embryos\u00a0are<\/em>\u00a0full organisms. And when is an organism\u00a0not <\/em>alive? Scott Klusendorf\u00a0explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A brain-dead person is in fact dead, meaning he\u2019s suffered (and this is key) an irreversible loss of all coordinated bodily function, including brain function. His bodily systems no longer work together in an integrated manner the way they do in living organisms. The embryo is nothing like the brain-dead person because the embryo, unlike you and I, does not need a brain to live. For the<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>embr<\/em>yo, something else coordinates the bodily systems so that it functions as a coordinated whole.<\/em><\/p>\n

Baby\/Child<\/strong>\u2014We\u2019re constantly told \u201cbaby\u201d can only refer to\u00a0born\u00a0<\/em>infants because it\u2019s an informal \u201cterm of endearment\u201d rather than a precise medical term. But a\u00a0quick glance at a real dictionary<\/a>\u2014which simply defines a baby as a \u201cvery young child,\u201d \u201cvery young animal,\u201d or \u201cthe youngest member of a group\u201d\u2014again debunks their semantic games. Besides, \u201cbaby\u201d isn\u2019t the most technical medical term\u00a0after birth<\/em>, either. That would be \u201cneonate<\/a>.\u201d If calling the unborn \u201cbabies\u201d is\u00a0good enough<\/a>\u00a0for the Mayo Clinic, WebMD, Johns Hopkins, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, then it\u2019s certainly good enough for pro-lifers.<\/p>\n

Similarly vapid are common one-liners such as \u201cNo children are involved in abortion\u201d and \u201cAll children ever have already been born.\u201d But unfortunately for them, Merriam-Webster\u2019s\u00a0definition<\/a>\u00a0does indeed apply to \u201can unborn or recently born person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Person<\/strong>\u2014While most of us use\u00a0\u201cperson\u201d and “human\u201d interchangeably, pro-aborts argue the two are different\u2014sometimes even mutually exclusive. While there are\u00a0serious logical and philosophical problems<\/a>with that dichotomy, there\u2019s also a much simpler reason to reject it\u2014Merriam Webster treats \u201cperson<\/a>\u201d and \u201chuman being\u201d as synonyms.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy<\/strong>\u2014In an effort to sow confusion and ambiguity about the\u00a0abortifacient capacity of certain birth control methods<\/a>, pro-aborts have taken to arguing that \u201cpregnant\u201d only means carrying an embryo that has successfully implanted in the uterus, and that therefore anything that prevents implantation merely \u201cprevents pregnancy\u201d instead of \u201ccauses an abortion.\u201d Leaving aside the fact that this doesn\u2019t change the key issue\u00a0(whether the embryo dies as a result), they\u2019re short on substance here too.<\/p>\n

James Agresti\u00a0quotes five medical texts<\/a>\u00a0declaring that pregnancy begins with fertilization, Merriam-Webster simply defines\u00a0pregnancy<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cthe condition of a woman or female animal that is going to have a baby or babies,\u201d and\u00a02011 survey<\/a>\u00a0of over a thousand OB\/GYNs found 57% agreeing that pregnancy begins at conception, while only 28% said implantation\u2014making pro-aborts’\u00a0lectures on \u201cmedical facts\u201d little more than wishful thinking.<\/p>\n

Parasite<\/strong>\u2014Popular among the angriest pro-aborts, this noxious talking point soars past minimization like \u201cclump of cells\u201d and into outright demonization, casting unborn children as verminous enemies of their own mothers. But biologically,\u00a0parasitism<\/a>\u00a0occurs between \u201ctwo species of plants or animals in which one benefits at the expense of the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pregnancy differs in multiple ways. Mother and child are the same species. The former\u00a0created<\/em>\u00a0the \u201cparasite.\u201d The fetus is not a foreign invader but the natural result of the \u201chost\u2019s\u201d own biological processes working\u00a0correctly<\/em>. While parasites graft themselves into biological systems designed for one, fetuses merely inhabit the \u201chomes\u201d their mothers\u2019 own biology makes for them. And perhaps most strikingly, the\u00a0numerous<\/a>\u00a0medical\u00a0benefits<\/a>\u00a0pregnancy\u00a0gives<\/a>\u00a0the mother, including decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancer, fetal stem cells that heal illness and injuries years after birth.<\/p>\n
