-====== PBHA450H: The Language of the Abortion Debate ======
-  * dehumanizing / humanizing language
-  * human rights language
-  * personalizing language
-  * unborn / pre-born
-  * "The Teenager Test"
-    * Why do we talk about "the pre-born" when we wouldn't talk about "the teenager"? We'd say, "the rights of teenagers," not "the rights of the teenager," so shouldn't we say "the rights of pre-born children" rather than "the rights of the pre-born?"
-      * Though we would talk about "the elderly"... but that's more of a collective now than an abstraction
-    * If we wouldn't talk this way about "the teenager" or "the toddler", then we shouldn't talk this way about pre-born children
-  * comparisons with other movements and struggles of changing or redeeming language, successes/failures
-    * gay/queer
-    * bitch/slut
-    * gratis/libre
-    * global warming / climate change
-    * FIXME must be plenty of other examples
