Yes, well you see, that's why so many people voted to legalise it. To many people, abortion just means an operation to remove an unwanted fetus. The words used are deliberately designed to mask the stark reality and horror of the process.

Call it emotive if you like, but when you have an abortion, you are actually killing a baby.. To my mind, an abortion in the early weeks of pregnancy is one thing, but at 24 weeks of pregnancy it is fully formed and is clearly a baby. The criteria used is wrong - it shouldn't be based on viability outside the womb, it should be based on the baby's consciousness and ability to feel pain.

The stories of aborted babies struggling to breathe being left on a slab for hours to die are heartbreaking. Not very civilised, if you ask me.
