The American Thinker<\/a> posted an article today with the following headine, “NPR says babies aren’t babies until they’re born.”<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

National Public Radio’s supervising senior standards and practices editor Mark Memmott recently published a “guidance reminder<\/a>” instructing the non-profit media organization’s employees in how to frame abortion news.\u00a0\u00a0Memmott wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your tax dollars support NPR.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

A baby is a fetus, though he looks like a baby and functions like a baby and has a beating heart (I mean an “embryonic pulsing<\/em>,” to quote a recent article in the New York\u00a0Times), two arms, two legs, and a pair of eyes?\u00a0\u00a0Even though he is an inch or two from being outside the womb, and even though as soon as he makes it outside the womb, he magically turns into a…”baby”?\u00a0\u00a0If a fetus is born weeks \u2014 or even months \u2014 early, he instantaneously and miraculously morphs into a “baby”?\u00a0\u00a0Must be the air.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What if what NPR calls a fetus\u00a0identifies<\/em>\u00a0as a baby?\u00a0\u00a0What then?\u00a0\u00a0Huh?\u00a0\u00a0How do you handle that, Mark Memmott?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who supported slavery and those who support abortion share the vehement belief in dehumanizing those they don’t consider equals.\u00a0\u00a0The Three-Fifths Compromise of the early days of the republic had slaves counted as three fifths of a human being.\u00a0\u00a0Though it sounds horrible, in reality, this was done to lessen the power of the slave states and help bring about the abolition of slavery.\u00a0\u00a0Should there be a Three-Fifths Compromise with pro-abortion types?\u00a0\u00a0If they agree to consider “fetuses” as at least three fifths of a human being, they’d be closer to a moral position than they are now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All slaves were babies at one time.\u00a0\u00a0Thank God that not all babies grow up to be slaves.<\/strong><\/p>\n
