What is it about "family planning" that bothers you?

She probably still thinks so since she didn't apologize but at least she is willing to proceed with the substance of the posts as they exist. Jewel, I can appreciate you're not wanting to get into a discussion of abortion here. It's not really on topic nor is it key to understanding the associated question of clarity, which is on topic. So I've been trying to disabuse Laz of wandering down that particular garden path. Your use of dysphemism, calling a "family planning" facility an "abortion clinic," is prima facie evidence of your POV. I see no need to get you to "admit" it although, since we're presumably here to add clarity to the various problems of clarity in our society, a general recognition of this basic element of clarity--that our word choices are "tells," would seem to be, well, basic.
