“Most abortion-minded women pretend to themselves that they are boxed in by circumstances; they say things like ‘I know abortion is wrong, but I just can’t have a baby right now.’ One counselor I know simply asks, ‘What do you call what’s in you?’ Unless thoroughly drilled, hardly anyone calls it a ‘fetus;’ no matter what her conscious views about abortion, almost every pregnant woman instinctively replies, ‘I call it a baby.’ But then my counselor friend can say without offense, ‘Then it sounds like you already have a baby. The question isn’t whether to have one, but what you’re going to do with the one you’ve got.”
--J. Budziszewsi, The Revenge of Conscience
