A Terrible Coarsening
George Weigel criticized the use of terms like reproductive health and reproductive freedom, arguing these phrases serve as euphemisms to hide the reality of abortion. Writing for The Catholic Times, Weigel stated that this language has contributed to a massive loss of life in the United States and has caused a coarsening of American culture and public life.
Weigel specifically pointed to a recent fact sheet from the Reproductive Health Access Project titled How to Use Abortion Pills for 14-20 weeks. He noted that Mary Rice Hasson of the Ethics and Public Policy Center described the document as cold and heartless. The fact sheet provides instructions on using misoprostol every three hours during the procedure.
