When Evil becomes "Good".
" Safe. Legal. Rare." This was once the mantra of the pro-choice community. It was, and in many circles still is, a rallying cry of those who claim to be truly pro-choice. These qualifications on abortion acknowledged that though abortion is something "bad" that should be limited, it is necessary and thus should be safe.
It seems some members of the pro-choice community (such as the grandson of Margaret Sanger) have realized that to follow the SLR protocol, one must acknowledge that there is something undesirable about abortion. Thus, a new generation of pro-choice rhetoric was born. Instead of a tragedy comparable to gnawing off ones leg, abortion should be framed as an undisputed "good". Instead of a shameful heartbreak, abortion should be sold as a milestone. Instead of a massacre, it should be framed as humans overcoming evolution.
Don't believe me? Take a look at Alexander Sanger's book "Beyond Choice". Perhaps we should look upon this as a good thing because it breaks apart the ground of moral relativism. Of course, I don't think renaming evil is something to celebrate. I pray that the world is not deceived.

Safe? For whom? Certainly not for the unborn.
