National Public Radio’s supervising senior standards and practices editor Mark Memmott recently published a “guidance reminder” instructing the non-profit media organization’s employees in how to frame abortion news. Memmott wrote: “The term ‘unborn’ implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman, not a fetus. Babies are not babies until they are born. They're fetuses. Incorrectly calling a fetus a ‘baby’ or ‘the unborn’ is part of the strategy used by antiabortion groups to shift language/legality/public opinion. That is simply a bold-faced lie. Memmott added: “NPR doesn't use the term ‘abortion clinics.’ We say instead, ‘medical or health clinics that perform abortions.’

This is sick. Denying that a woman is carrying a baby when she is pregnant is delusional.

I guess now women will not be able to have Baby Showers or say they are going to have a baby. Celebrities will have to stop showing off their baby bumps. They will be saying "There is a fetus growing inside of me." They are treating unborn children like cancer to be eradicated upon demand. Our culture can't sink much lower; we are already suffering the consequences and it can only get worse! Shame on the left-wing Socialists for destroying our Republic one day at a time. The Russians once said that Communism would take over America without a shot being fired. This is just the beginning.

Why then do people tell you not to smoke or drink while pregnant? Why do pregnant women play soothing music to their unborn? Why when a woman miscarries she talks about losing her baby?
She talks to that child in the womb, she sings to it, it is a real person in her mind, and only a truly sick and demented person can deny that reality.
It is the Planned Parenthood crowd that runs the Ministries of Truth and Love where lies are truth and Hate is Love and Babies are body parts to be sold and sacrificed on the altar of a sick new feminism. And all of human history is to be rewritten with the lies.

NPR once again shows that the "P" really stands for propaganda. I'm disgusted that NPR receives any taxpayer funded support and that Congress hasn't stopped it. Stop voting for incumbents.

Under the EXISTING Law in all 50 States. Life begins at Conception ----California Penal Code 187 Homicide
187. (a) Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with malice aforethought.
(unless)
(3) The act was solicited, aided, abetted, or consented to by the mother of the fetus.
So under existing Law...Life begins at conception, in all 50 states and Abortion is classified under the Homicide Code....but its legal Homicide. It is legally correct, under existing Law, to say life begins at conception and abortion is Murder..every state has similar laws..

"Claiming to be wise, they became fools..." Certainly applies to Mr. Memmott.

This takes us back to the Seinfeld episode where Poppy insisted that Kramer could not put broccoli on the pizza he was baking, in their joint business venture.
There was a case back in the 1970s, in Boston, where a black physician performed an abortion on a woman in her third term, and was arrested. He testified that he simply removed 'abortus' from her uterus, not a baby.
Words have meaning, and NPR knows that..

Dear NPR,
What does fetus mean in Latin?

The Left has declared that mothers have the right to determine if their preborn babies are "babies" or "clumps of cells." If the mother says so, she is gestating a "baby" who must be protected at all costs. Or she could say she has a clump of cells that looks like a baby but isn't. This is God's business. God endows us with a soul and "knows us in the womb."

Whatever the abortionists want to call it, it's a living human being. The fact that it is called a fetus is a technicality for justifying their horrific murder. Also, the fact that the vast majority of abortions are performed on minorities is a fact ignored and never mentioned by the left!

The Left always wants to define language to its advantage so they can get away with whatever scheme they are working on. Illegal immigrant becomes undocumented immigrant, like they had left their "papers" in their other wallet instead of illegally breaking into the Country. Once you defuse the ACCURATE language, then you can manipulate the issue. Documented and undocumented are all "immigrants". If you ban immigrants you must hate them. The "legal" aspect has been deftly obscured.
Yes, pregnant women have living babies inside them who are dependant on their mother's body for a period of time. That used to be a sacred relationship. To the Left, there is no longer a sacred relationship with anything.
