Newspeak
So much of our mythology, as George Orwell pointed out, relies on the creative use of language in order to fool ourselves into believing. Evolution is said to �find� biological solutions, as though the evolutionary process is an intelligent agent. The new law that forces consumers to make purchases is called the �affordable� care act. And abortion is said to help people.
An article published this week by an abortion �doctor� provides yet more examples of such Orwellian newspeak. She wrote that �Abortion can improve life and prevent harm; pro-choice, to me, does not mean anti-life.� How is it that the killing of innocent babies serves to �improve life and prevent harm�? And if this is not �anti-life,� then what is? Of course it is anti-life, but it is precisely this sort of upside down, euphemistic terminology that allows us to continue in the myth.
