And then, I realized, that a simple euphemism for murder totally corrupted the original meaning of the word abortion to me.

@LukeAlmighty maybe that's how people who look at "master" and "slave" terms in code feel

Irrational positions always feel 100 times more real from the personal perspective :D

@LukeAlmighty the difference is that people like us don't rally to change it because we realize that things can have different meanings even if it's a lil weird
