“Pregnancy Kills. Abortion Saves Lives.” That was the headline on an absurd opinion article in The New York Times, deploying Orwellian language to turn the abortion debate on pro-lifers and comfort those who support abortion on demand.

It’s like the Holocaust because it writes off a whole segment of the population as being “life unworthy of life,” and so sends those human beings…
