OPINION:
One sure sign of a scam is an offering with a title that’s the opposite of what the scam is really about. One of the best, most recent examples of this is the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare is really about insurance, not health care, and it makes people pay more for insurance than they paid before it was passed.
An older scam is terming an abortion clinic a “reproductive health care facility” (“Muzzling granny about alternatives to abortion,” Web, Jan. 22). These clinics are actually facilities whose main purpose is to prevent reproduction through the abortion of unborn babies. Prohibiting speech is unconstitutional. If only we could prohibit politicians from lying to us.
