"On demand" is colloquial because pro-life made it colloquial, it is referred to in Europe as "on request" which is more respectful of the women seeking abortions. Of course, that request can be denied for a number of reasons. The doctor doesn't choose to do abortions, the pregnancy is too advanced, etc. The request should not be denied on the basis of age, race, money, perhaps other reasons which basically mean that "I think I know better than you what is good for you." |
This is all semantic BS, we've always known the process of fertilization and pregnancy, and it was sufficient until the pro-abortionists needed to split hairs in order to make their agenda plausibly moral. But reasonable people see through the veil of deceit and know that legal abortion was rammed through the court system with twisted rationale. Abortion can only seem morally acceptible when the miracle of life is redefined in terms of electro-chemical processes and biological phases. It is intellectually trifling and morally dishonest.
