Credit to the Washington Post for posting this letter on baby vs. fetus word usage. And to the Alexandria, Va., mom who wrote it!

Great letter!

It also reminds me of college when I read an article by, I think it was Dworkin, or that other pro-abortion feminazi lady, where pregnancy was described as being the same as having your one kidney attached to some famous violinist for 9 months.

At the time I considered myself pro-choice but still found the analogy to be utterly ridiculous.

Reading the letter just brought something else to mind:

Has anyone considered that the reason why the Left tends to define the "baby" as "fetus" or some other kind of medical and sterile name, is to make it easier to convince people to abort it? You know, like Progressives liked to define people as morons, imbeciles, undesirables. And later their favorite group, the Nazis, demonized the Jews and others, also making it easier to kill them?
