That word? “Baby”, as Michael Bedar explains at American Thinker
By framing the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision as attacking private choice or health care, the media remarkably keep the word “baby” at bay. “Don’t say ‘baby,’ baby.” Magazines and newspapers devote pages and pages of commentary evading “baby.”
Reproduction involves two someones reproducing at least one new someone — a baby. We purport (both sides do, to be fair) to believe that each somebody is important. And yet people who read or watch what remains of the establishment media practically never hear an utterance about the baby. The new somebody is ignored in totality. The left’s viewers will hear about an alleged “religious cultural war on women’s rights,” “destruction of reproductive health,” and the like, without hearing a hint about the silent someone reproduced: the baby.
Say what you will about the left, they do propaganda very effectively. They shape the forms conversation will take as well. They omit the “baby” from the debate because that benefits their propaganda. Just listen to every pro-choicer on TV, radio, what have you. Count how many times you hear the word “baby“. Start at zero, and, unless a pro-life person is included, the “baby” will never be mentioned. The left, it seems, has cut the baby completely out. Talk about the most obscene of ironies………………….
