The Term "Pro-Choice" And The Rectification of Names?
Confucius was asked what he would do if he was a governor. He said he would "rectify the names" to make words correspond to reality. After Confucius died a "Rectification of Names" would be heard promised in almost every rebellion in China.
The divide between infanticidists and anti-infanticidists mirrors the divide over slavery in the United states in the 19th century. The pro-slavery side believed black people were not really human or at best "sub-human" and could be enslaved, becoming their property that slave-owners could do with as they pleased.
It was a belief that lived on into the 20th century in Nazi Germany, Fascist Japan and Communist Russia.
Most of us know how history eventually dealt with this.
Today infanticidists argue that murder is acceptable because a fetus is part of a woman's body to do with as she pleases...because it is sub-human. If this argument sounds familiar it is because it is the same as the pro-slavery supporters of the 19t9 century United States and of the Nazis and Communists who declared whole races/classes "subhuman".
So a Confucian "rectification of names" is now required. Pro-choice is the "choice" to commit infanticide up to the day of delivery and even afterwards (Democrat lawmakers in the US states of Virginia and New York will be pleased to explain to you how a woman should be able to dispose of her "property" whenever she feels like if you ask. So too will HRC and the "devout" Catholic Nancy Pelosi).
So..."pro-choice"? No. "Pro-infanticide"? Yes. The moral and intellectual courage of Confucius is proven again.
