Things happen. Some people want multiple forms of control, it's a free country. Denying accessible birth control is some Iran sh#t.

That is why the baby is called a "blob", taking a live is called abortion, and the abortion is called a procedure.
They words are changed to make people less inclined to throw a fit about hard subjects.

Um, is she not aware of how controversial the "procedure" is?
For a CEO she isn't called sunny, cause she ain't bright.
Pregnancy alters the size and structure of brain regions involved in understanding the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and intentions of others, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

The new mothers showed a loss of gray matter in several brain areas associated with social cognition, a form of emotional intelligence.
While changes to the brain were clear, how to interpret them is not.
"Loss of volume does not necessarily translate to loss of function," said Hoekzema, "Sometimes less is more." She explained that the loss of gray matter could "represent a fine-tuning of synapses into more efficient neural networks."
Reduction in gray matter occurred in various regions of the brains of pregnant women, including the prefrontal and temporal cortex.
"These areas are involved in a number of behaviors," noted Dr. Kim Yonkers, a professor in psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology at Yale School of Medicine who was not involved in the new study. She explained some of these regions are involved in memory, while others are implicated in depression.
Changes in these areas may help women forget the pain or difficulty of pregnancy, suggested Yonkers.

Surely she meant it in a nicer way, I can only hope anyhow. Maybe they took pride and joy in helping those women through such a traumatic and personal choice. Perhaps now the pressure on them is so bad that they cannot even take pleasure in knowing they are helping most of these women. Idk. Poor poor choice of words though.
