Summary
A leaked Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) training video instructs staff to confirm that men can get pregnant and encourages them to refer to a pre-born baby as an “embryo” or “fetus.” The VA training video correctly states, “Language has a profound impact on what people hear and learn.” Therein lies Dr. Denison’s point as he describes our culture’s pervasive four-part strategy to normalize unbiblical immorality, legalize it, then stigmatize those who disagree and ultimately criminalize their disagreement.

| 0:00.0 | Good day and welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September the 26th, |
| 0:08.0 | 2023. Today's article is written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison |
| 0:15.2 | Forum. A leaked Department of Veteran Affairs training video instructs staff to confirm that men can get pregnant and encourages them to refer to a pre-born baby as an embryo or fetus, to a fetal heartbeat as embryonic or fetal cardiac activity, and to a mother as a veteran or a person. When I saw the story, |
| 0:42.2 | I then check some other taxpayer-funded agencies for similar language. I found this statement on the |
| 0:48.0 | National Institutes of Health website. Quote, the term chest feeding or body feeding can be used alongside breastfeeding to be more inclusive for non-binary or trans people. |
| 1:02.7 | End quote. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website similarly includes COVID-19 related information for pregnant and recently pregnant people, not women. |
| 1:14.6 | The website later refers to people who are pregnant, presumably in deference to pregnant biological women who do not identify as women. |
| 1:24.6 | The VA training video correctly states, language has a profound impact on what people hear and learn. |
| 1:30.3 | Therein lies my point today. |
| 1:33.3 | One of my persistent frustrations across decades of cultural engagement |
| 1:37.3 | has been the degree to which our opponents have weaponized euphemisms |
| 1:41.3 | in service to their various causes. Early in the abortion struggle, |
| 1:45.9 | for example, those of us who are pro-life were labeled anti-abortion, while those who supported |
| 1:52.6 | abortion were labeled pro-choice. Who doesn't want to be for choice? And who wants to be |
| 1:58.6 | anti-anything? Now our pro-choice opponents call themselves advocates for |
| 2:03.5 | reproductive justice or reproductive freedom and caricature us as part of a war on women. Again, |
| 2:11.8 | who doesn't want to be for justice or freedom? Who wants to be part of a war on half the population? We can see the same strategy |
| 2:20.1 | at work all around us. Euthanasia advocates are for death with dignity. Those of us who defend |
| 2:26.3 | biblical sexual morality are labeled homophobic or transphobic. What started out as gay pride is now |
| 2:33.4 | simply pride. The rainbow was co-opted from a |
| 2:37.0 | biblical symbol of new life to a cultural symbol of inclusion that actually endorses and embraces |
| 2:44.4 | destructive behavior. As I have warned before, this is all part of a four-part strategy to |
