While reading Twitter at lunch, I came across this post from the Rock For Life! group.
New blog - "Words and Phrases to Drop From Our Pro-Life Vocabulary" by erikwhittington check it out, thoughts? http://tinyurl.com/y8wah4c
They really make a strong point here:
"...the words we use are very powerful and can make the difference between life and death. You might be surprised to realize that even we pro-lifers often use terms and phrases that can be dehumanizing to the very people we are trying to save. That can cause confusion and that can hamper our efforts to obtain recognition of the human rights of all human persons. As we educate the public and advocate for the rights of all human persons, born and preborn, we must seriously examine the language we use and make some changes, if necessary."Words in general are important, but when discussing such important things such as life, death, and God, we ought to precisely and carefully select our words so as to make the strongest and faith-filled points as possible.
