When we  protect a mother's right to informed choice it also follows that we  
endorse her right to exercise that choice, whatever it is.  Does our  
responsibility really end there? Or is there an obligation to think ahead  
to the consequences of that choice, which fills whole libraries?  If  so, we 
might need to re-think how we use the word "choice" and use  something which 
more appropriately fits this life-or-death outcome. And we  might need to 
clearly state the mother's *and* the baby's rights in the  same sentence.



Pamela,
I hope everyone reads your beautifully stated post. The words that we  choose 
are so important to the message we want to convey. We should all have to  
take a few classes in this skill which could be entitled marketing or  
propaganda. It may also help us to recognize the marketing techniques that are  used & 
help us become better consumers.
