Disgusting......................but NOT SURPRISING................

[rktman]

Huh? NPR? Don’t we pay fo.................. Oh.

[Brilliant]

Why am I subsidizing this?

[G Larry]

Do you mean objections to the slaughter of innocent babies?

Those "reproductive rights"?

[rockrr]

Smell the fear...

NPR?

Nancy Pelosi Radio?

[Skywise]

If we don’t say “baby killing” but instead use the term - rainbow expelling then people will better accept our infanticide values and rights.

[Mr.Unique]

Anyone funding NPR is funding an organization that believes:

The term “unborn” implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman, not a fetus. Babies are not babies until they are born. They're fetuses. Incorrectly calling a fetus a “baby” or “the unborn” is part of the strategy used by antiabortion groups to shift language/legality/public opinion.

They also believe that jamming a knife into a baby's head, then sucking her brain out with a vacuum is “reproductive health care.”

[Valpal1]

Using fetus instead of unborn, even though fetus literally means unborn. This is a epic fail that will not have the desired effect.

[Billthedrill]

...the injunction against the word “unborn,” which journalists are to avoid like the plague, according to Memmott, because it “implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman.”

Whoa, he has us there. I'll have to admit that I was under the impression that that's where babies come from. Glad to be shown the error of my ways.

[Pontiac]

“They’re fetuses,” he lectured. “Incorrectly calling a fetus a ‘baby’ or ‘the unborn’ is part of the strategy used by antiabortion groups to shift language/legality/public opinion.”

“Fetus” is Latin for baby.

[Midwesterner53]

So the NPR portion of the swamp is still full.

[z3n]

The style guide makes one thing abundantly, painstakingly clear: NPR writers are to go out of their way to make sure it never, ever sounds like the collection of cells inside a mother’s womb is a human life.

~~~

Except that someone who kills a pregnant woman is usually charged with double homicide, and I think you would find that most people on the left or right, include those at NPR, would agree with the charges.

hmmm...

[FranklinsTower]

We are for the rights of the unborn.

This is the language we can use to counter their demonic euphemisms.

[Skywise]

I wonder if we could get away with saying that abortion kills transgender babies.

[Howie66]

I guess that NPR doesn’t think that their writers are sharp enough to pull that off on their own.

So why on earth are WE still providing NPR with OUR Tax dollars?

[a fool in paradise]

If the aren’t unborn are they undead?

[Liberty Valance]

[BenLurkin]

Evil.

No other word for it.

This pro-abort strategy parallels the LGBT agenda WRT to sex indoctrination in the schools.
The LGBT training manuals explicitly state that their goal is to break the connection between sex and baby-making, and to focus instead on sexuality, feelings, and the “varieties of sexual expression and sexual identity.”
