So you'd prefer we use dysphemisms that support your view of it instead.


sterilization isn't my view, it's what it is. permanent birth control could include suicide, it's ambiguous.

the only reason one would avoid what you are terming dysphemisms is if you are advocating that people do more of something and you wish to hide what it is.


Calling abortion (which is only one element of what is meant by “reproductive freedom”) “terminating reproductees with extreme prejudice” is a dysphemism by any reasonable standard.
