We basically agree, and I get what you're arguing.
But lets just say you represent, oh...
Level one. Frame the debate
Level two. Instigate protectionary legislation
I'm more level two. Yes, I get you're not a fan of my level two. But, again, I am. We could get into legal theory and history, but let's just say that is my informed opinion.
We have laws against stealing. We have laws against different types of stealing - burglary, petty theft, robbery, etc. Laws against abortion are against "murder," but a specific type of murder.
I have no problem with your level two. In fact I have a whole set of ideas on how anti-murder should be applied in pregnancy cases that I'd like to see turned into laws. But I don't think we get there without going through level one.
I think it's too... strict? of a standard? Again I just see it as semantics. Doesn't mean it can't be persuasive, but there's no master formula of terminology.
That DOESN'T mean your point doesn't have merits. But I just don't honestly see it as being an end-all-be-all.
I agree that we need more to it than just terminology. I just think getting the most compelling terminology has the best starting point. We need to back that up with facts and the proper emotion for people to be convinced or to feel it's something they can accept.
I understand your point.

You may be right.

Fair enough.
