I have no intention of calling it a happy thing, and apparently not a lot of people care if you call it a scrape out. But for me, personally, I think you are ending a human life in an unnatural way.

It seems that should be worth more than crude slang.

But to some it isn't human life. (And now the 40 page thread BEGINS
)I'm in the "don't care" category, but I'm interested in your opinion. Do you find calling an abortion a "scrape-out" offensive the same way an African American might object to use of the word "nigger"? (Maybe not the same magnitude of offense, but I'm going to assume you understand my point). Do you object to the phrase or do you object to the process in general? If the latter is the case, I would think that all synonyms would be equally objectionable.
