Misuse of words
The medical use of a sequence of words to describe the progression of a brand-new unique human being from conception to birth is useful. Thus we can read or speak of the progression from zygote to embryo to fetus to newborn human being. This use of words is also generally “neutral” and “innocent,” in that it is generally meant to merely be descriptive of the anatomical development of the new human being.
But the misuse of these descriptive words can also be “deceitful” and even “malevolent.”
For example, a well-known medical doctor who was making a lot of money practicing abortion [medically destroying brand-new unique human beings] said [referring to the early development of the brand-new unique human being]:
“A pile of bricks does not a fireplace make.”
This highly-educated medical doctor knew his assertion was/is an abhorrent misuse of words, a blatant lie. Correcting his blatantly dishonest analogy is a must:
“The newly-formed unique human being is [analogically-speaking] a perfectly-formed miniature fireplace and [if not destroyed] will grow into a fully-functioning fireplace which is capable of warming good hearts everywhere.”
It is vitally important here for me [a man] to say this:
“Since I do not have a womb, I cannot in any way judge any woman [who is lied to in this way]. It is impossible for me to feel how onerous is the 9-month-long-task of creating a magnificent new human being for planet earth.”
Furthermore, I cannot in any way judge any woman who is told the truth either.
It is not my calling to render judgment, but to render compassion.
