Societal Schizophrenia - A Never Ending Story - Bait & Switch

Today's report on societal schizophrenia, which is becoming a never ending story, is about the habit of today's society using contradicting terms. They think we don't know what words mean ... and perhaps some don't. So here we go with today's illogic.

We read today, that the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quietly released a new report about the deaths and injuries to women from the abortion drug RU486. The key word is "quietly", since the Obama Administration has done absolutely nothing to publicize or make available the dangers of RU486, to women; because that might reveal the contradiction in terms of the abortion mind-set. The elementary school level word we refer to here is "safe".  Abortion proponents constantly say, that "abortion should be "safe" .. legal and "rare".  This is their mantra.  So let's look up our old friend Webster and see what he has to say about the meaning of the word "safe".

Safe: 1.a) free from damage, danger, or injury; secure. b.) having escaped danger or injury; unharmed. 2. a) giving protection. b.) involving no risks and c.) trustworthy.  Ok now .. let's see what the FDA reported about RU486, and if it fits Webster's description.

The FDA reports that 14 women in the United States alone have died from using RU486, and 2,207 women were injured. How safe is that? Which definition of the word "safe" would you pick?  This is in our own highly developed country. I shudder to think what it has done in underdeveloped, poorer countries, where perhaps Webster's Dictionary does not exist. Of course, one wonders if anyone in the United States studies it. Certainly abortion proponents don't read it, or they would know how contradictory their arguments about abortion being "safe" really are.  Or do they?

Commenting on the report, Jeanne Monahan of the Family Research Council said, "Marketing the abortion drug as simple and painless, such as taking an aspirin, is dangerously misleading to women." Hmmm ... does misleading marketing tactics reflect Webster's definition of the word "safe"? She also goes on to prove our other point regarding underdeveloped poorer countries by stating, " It is not only women in the US who are suffering, as a result of chemical abortion, it is a world-wide trend."

Now the Australian Health Dept chimes in after their audit of 10,000 abortions performed in 2009 - 2010, where they compared the "safety" of RU486 with surgical abortions. The outcome being, in the words of one major media outlet, "The Abortion Pill Less "Safe" than Surgery." Jeanne Monahan of the Family Research Council stated, "The Australian report showed that 1 in 18 women, who used RU486 had to be readmitted to hospitals (a total of 5.7% of women vs. only .4%  of surgical abortions.) The same study revealed that as many as 33% of women who had second trimester RU486 abortions required some form of surgical intervention." Hmmmmm.  How safe is that?  Websters #2 definition of "safe" is "giving protection and involving no risks".

Everyone in American knows, that in baseball, when the umpire calls "safe", the player is not out, and has contributed to the advancement  of his team. So the constant use of this same word, by the radical pro-aborts, is a contradiction in terms, when referring to abortion. When women are dying and being injured, the pro-abort umpire has made a bad call by saying the woman is "safe", using abortion; chemical or otherwise.  This is not only societal schizophrenia, but societal illiteracy. Or is it deliberate? I think it's deliberate.

So why don't women see the contradiction?  It's the old "bait and switch" tactic used by savvy salesmen for millenia. It refers to the seduction of a potential sucker, by using one lure, then the salesman switches things on the sucker, who doesn't get what he bargained for. Women are continually being lured with the lie, that it is back-alley abortions that are not "safe", while, legal abortions are.  Then the switch comes with deaths and injuries.  Until this "quiet" FDA report, that the Obama Administration has done nothing to make available to women, finally reveals the switch.
