The Magical Power of Euphemism This is pretty amazing stuff, from the New Republic. The Many Manipulations of the Planned Parenthood Attack Videos An OB/GYN explains how medically incorrect language is used to distort the facts By Jen Gunter @DrJenGunter Photo: The Center for Medical Progress The anti-choice organization Center for Medical Progress--which, in 2013, claimed tax-exempt status as a biomedical charity--have recently released two "undercover" videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing post-procedure tissue donation. The group claims the videos demonstrate that Planned Parenthood profits from fetal tissue donation (which would be illegal) and that they are "haggling" over the price of "baby parts." As an OB/GYN, I can tell you that neither of these claims are true. These are not "baby parts." Whether a woman has a miscarriage or an abortion, the tissue specimen is called "products of conception." Oh, I'm terribly sorry -- you've created euphemisms to make this sound less ghoulish to yourselves, and now you're claiming your Magic Words of euphemism have reified (become real) and transformed baby parts into "products of conception"? Yeah that just happened. What you just read, someone actually wrote. By the way, Adolf Hitler just emailed me to say they weren't "gas chambers for Jews." They were merely "processing centers for social undesirables." ace.mu.nu
