The Briefing with Albert Mohler

Words Matter: The Impact of Legislative Language

Legislation can significantly change the perception and implications of a law through the modification or removal of specific terms.

By removing references to abortion, the focus shifts from the context of the infant's birth to a general duty of care for any live-born infant, which may affect legal interpretations and policy implications regarding abortion practices. This illustrates how the absence or presence of key terminology can reshape the legal landscape and influence public understanding of health and reproductive rights.
