But no one is really talking about abortion or slavery. They are taking about
technical terms that have specific meanings in context. To say we are talking
about abortion (meaning ending a pregnancy) and slavery ( meaning a Human
Master/Slave) relationship is pulling these words out of context and ascribing
them other meanings.
