Our September cover story is about the 11 myths of abortion, including “the fetus is just a blob of cells” and “banning abortion will lead to more back-alley abortions.” Abortion depending on myths (read: lies) is the topic of our lead editorial. An excerpt:
The myths we discuss enable abortion by ignoring the rudimentary facts of modern fetology, obscuring the obvious health consequences of abortion, and debasing the language of human rights by numbering the euphemistic “choice” to kill a child among them. But these myths are also produced by abortion: they are invoked to defend an indefensible deed and conceal this terrible truth from the culture’s conscience. They try to convince us that violence is necessary while hiding that very violence from view.
