That same tactic is used today with the added twist of using euphemisms for the reality of what the abortion proponents promulgate. I.e. "pro-choice," "selective reduction," "termination of pregnancy" among so many...
The definition of pregnancy was changed when understanding was developed of what was actually happening after fertilization. Please, no one is better at using the language to suit their agenda euphemistically and with emotional appeal than the pro-life camp. Examples are the term "pro-life" itself, going on to "innocent child in the womb", "inconvenience", "murderer", "baby-killer", and so on, ad infinitum.
