Wow, it's incredible just how much you're warping language.

> 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.
