Yes. Proponents of abortion (a neutral term) use terms that minimize the actions they are taking to deceive and lessen the guilt of what they are doing. * terminating the life of a fetus isn't "infanticide" it's a "choice" * an abortion clinic isn't "an execution center" it's "a medical center" * people who are against abortion aren't "pro-life" they're "anti-choice" * abortion isn't "child murder" it's "healthcare" They do this to normalize their actions. If they spent one second contemplating what they are doing from a neutral point of view it would be terrifying. A la "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". |

> terminating the life of a fetus isn't "infanticide" it's a "choice"
To make abortion sound worse, you redefine infanticide. Encyclopedia Britannica says: "infanticide, the killing of the newborn" - notice how being born is a necessary precondition?
> an abortion clinic isn't "an execution center" it's "a medical center"
Yes, just like any other place that does healthcare.
> people who are against abortion aren't "pro-life" they're "anti-choice"
Yes, you want to take people's choice away.
> abortion isn't "child murder" it's "healthcare"
Yes, because the child develops during pregnancy, it's not there from the moment of conception. Makes it pretty difficult to murder a child if there is no child yet.
But that's what you have to do to make your arguments work - there is no logical basis, so you have to warp everything around you to hopefully find some way to manipulate those around you.
