Are South Carolina “Republicans” borrowing deceptive tactic from George Orwell’s “1984” — changing the meaning of plain English language in S474 Heartbeat Bill ?
______________________________________________
ORWELLIAN S474 HEARTBEAT BILL INCLUDES FALSELY DEFINING “CONTRACEPTIVE” AS ALSO PREVENTING IMPLANTATION, WHICH OCCURS APPROX. ONE WEEK AFTER CONCEPTION !!!
AS A RESULT, S474 IN EFFECT, ALTHOUGH NOT EXPLICITLY STATED, IS THEREFORE EFFECTUATING A FALSE DEFINITION FOR EARLY ACTUAL ONE-WEEK OR SO “ABORTIONS” AS CONTRACEPTION !!!
Human life begins at conception/fertilization, NOT implantation. ______________________________________________

THIS ORWELLIAN RE-DEFINITION OF THE WORD “CONTRACEPTIVE” TO INCLUDE THE PREVENTION OF IMPLANTATION OF THE 6 TO 12 DAYS OLD TINY HUMAN EMBRYO (BLASTOCYST) IN THE ENDOMETRIAL LINING OF THE MOTHER’S UTERUS ALLOWS ABORTIFACIENT DRUGS AND DEVICES WHICH “ABORT” THESE POST-FERTILIZATION HUMAN EMBRYOS TO FALSELY AND PERVERSELY BE LABELLED AS “CONTRACEPTIVES”, AND TO FALSELY AND PERVERSELY CALL PREVENTION OF IMPLANTATION/”ABORTION” OF AN APPROX. ONE-WEEK OLD HUMAN BEING AS “CONTRACEPTION” !!!
HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL WORKS BOTH CONTRACEPTIVELY AND ABORTIFACIENTLY.
Human life begins at conception/fertilization, NOT implantation.

‘Yes, Some Contraceptives Are Abortifacients’
National Review
November 4, 2016
https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/11/contraception-birth-control-abortion-abortifacients-ella-plan-b-iud-embryo-life/
Excerpts:
“Pro-abortion-rights activists employ a neat semantic trick to evade and ignore the scientific details of abortifacient drugs: redefining “pregnancy” to mean “the implantation of an embryo in the uterine lining.” Thus any drug that prevents implantation of an existing embryo prevents pregnancy rather than aborting an existing one. Semantics aside, the crucial, underlying question is whether these birth-control methods cause embryonic death.”
“As Donna Harrison has explained at NRO, an IUD’s manipulation of the hormone progesterone causes a woman’s body to reject any embryo that might be formed after ovulation, rather than wholly stopping ovulation from occurring. The copper material in some IUDs has been shown to be toxic to an embryo, leading to its death or, if it survives, abnormal development. Furthermore, an IUD’s manipulation of the uterine lining accounts for the fact that, among women who become pregnant while using an IUD, there is a high rate of ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo implants somewhere outside the uterus.”
