No. We cannot. As pro-life conservatives (not sure I've ever called myself that before) we're held to a higher standard, to actually say what we mean and mean what we say. Nobody holds liberals to that standard.... like the video from Obama's innauguration speech

even liberals don't believe (or hope he's lying) what Obama's saying

malice
Main Entry:
mal·ice
http://www.merriam-webster.com/images/audio.gif Pronunciation: \ˈma-ləs\ Function:
noun Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin
malitia, from
malus bad Date: 14th century 1
: desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another
2
: intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse
Abortionists don't wish to cause pain nor do they intend to break the law... they intend to lawfully kill an unborn baby at the direction of the mother.
..
words count... we need to use them correctly.
Abortion under many circumstances (regardless of whether early or late in the term) shocks the conscience of people who recognize the unborn as innocent humans worthy of our protection. Educating people, giving them the facts, matters. Distorting the the facts corrupts the message. We don't need to hyperbolize.... indeed... how can one given what late term abortion does?
