[Apercu]

Try the mothers, fathers and who says it is a strictly political definition?In fact it IS also a political & moral issue of the highest magnitude - every day to those who experience it and each election cycle to those who debate it.Coercion is the use of force, psychological and/or physical to gain compliance.The unborn, the parents & families are all subject to some degree of coercion with the unborn child bearing the brunt.You can play all the semantics cards you want - abortion is a form of terrorism against those who can't defend themselves.

[Eagle Eye]

Definitions are not semantics. Re read your twisting of terms to suit your purposes to see semantic gymnastics in action.

Terrorism example - a bomb or bombings designed to make the government look impotent and to coerce or intimidate the population to bend to the will of the perpetrators.

Abortion - normally a voluntary act by a woman who wishes to end her pregnancy by killing the fetus. Frequently done in secret.

There are many terrible and terrifying acts perpetrated on people that are not correctly termed terrorism.

Either words mean something or they don’t.
