I am against abortion, yet when the pill is done, it is not considered abortion.  I am against the Pill(for abortion).

The world will give the "pill" w/o testing for pregnancy.  Also, in reality, chances of a pregnancy in a true rape is at most 1 -2%.

The world does not even tell in news how many women are physically hurt by the "abortion pill", which is = to 3 years worth of an oral contraceptive.  Lupus, cancer, death.

Then the talk that there are less abortions, not true.  The world's definition of abortion is surgical when it comes to that talk.

So many lies and half truths!

I do not see the word "abortion" as a euphemism.  It comes from the Latin word abortio and is used in medical terminology.  A "spontaneous abortion" is commonly called a miscarriage, while an "induced abortion" is commonly called an abortion and means the deliberate killing of a child before birth.  It is a precise and clinical word that does not soften the reality of what occurs.

I would say that "removal of uterine contents" is a euphemism.  The term "pro-choice" is not so much a euphemism as a lie.  It is an attempt to portray something horrendous as something good.  It is actively deceptive.

But I wonder if we understand the word "euphemism" differently.  Would you say that the word "defecate" is a euphemism?  I wouldn't.  In contrast, I would say that "go number two" is a euphemism.
A "spontaneous abortion" is commonly called a miscarriage,
an "induced abortion" is commonly called an abortion and means the deliberate killing of a child before birth.

So a miscarriage is an event in which no human interference takes place, while an induced abortion is an abortion? That seems an unsatisfactory definition.


Let me modify that statement about induced abortion: 
An induced abortion is the deliberate malicious killing of an in-utero infant human being. What do we call that?

euphemism (yo͞oˈfə-mĭzˌəm)
n.
The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive: "Euphemisms such as 'slumber room' . . . abound in the funeral business” Jessica Mitford).


What about termination of pregnancy? Isn't that a euphemism? Well every birth is a termination of pregnancy.

Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

An outspoken Roman Catholic priest is drawing attention to 14 confessing Catholics in the U.S. Senate who helped reject a bill that would have outlawed abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, calling on their bishops and parish priests to rebuke the lawmakers.

Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill.

Father Dwight Longenecker wrote on his blog that he was “absolutely shocked” when the bill to ban “barbaric, inhumane” late-term abortions was rejected Jan. 29. And he found it “even more shocking” that the legislation would have proceeded to a vote and likely passed if not for the fact that 14 Catholic senators voted to block it, including Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Tim Kaine of Virginia, and Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.
The Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, by a 51-46 vote, fell short of the 60 votes required for the Senate to break a Democratic filibuster. The premise of the bill was that the fetus is capable of feeling pain during an abortion at 20 weeks.
“Today is the day for their bishops to issue a formal statement acknowledging that these men and women have publicly denied their Catholic faith, and if not formally, then have informally excommunicated themselves,” Longenecker said, as LifeNews.com was first to report.
“Since their offense is public it should be acknowledged publicly and their pastors should publicly rebuke them and ask them not to receive the sacraments.”

Longenecker said that if the bishops and priests “do not do this, the faithful in their parishes and dioceses should rise up and blizzard them with letters, emails and the one thing that will really make them sit up and take notice: with holding their contributions.”

In 2015, Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, related to alleged favors he did for Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen and gifts he received from him, including campaign donations and private flights. Melgen was charged as well. Menendez has pleaded not guilty to all charges.[3] His trial ended in a hung jury and a mistrial on November 16, 2017. On January 31, 2018, the Justice Department announced they were dropping all charges against Menendez.[4]
