Avedon Carol over at The Sideshow is grumpy about the
timidity with which liberals handle the abortion debate:
I guess I’m really old or something, but I frankly don’t understand why so many people seem so nervous about the idea that we might not be using the “right” language to talk about a subject that most people are in agreement on, anyway. In real life, there really aren’t that many people who need convincing that Roe v. Wade was the right thing. The number of people who want it overturned are really not a very big minority, and I want to know why I should let these misogynists determine my language anyway when the fact is that no matter what I say they aren’t going to suddenly come around to realizing what the rest of us already know.
