Yup, that's what their expert on torture says. First they called murdering babies in the womb "choice." Now those who try to stop it are guilty of "torture."
The only thing being tortured here is language, but verbal engineering is what tyrants always do so they can put a nice gloss on their evil deeds disguising them behind high-sounding words. Read 1984 - they called it "newspeak."

Newspeak in North Carolina: the "Healthy Youth Act"
We truly are living in Orwell's dystopian world these days where Big Brother uses language to lie. Here's just one of a legion of examples:North Carolina's public schools are implementing what is euphemistically called the "Healthy Youth Act" to indoctrinate 12 and 13-year old students on the use of every immoral, disgusting, and child-killing birth control method under the sun. Of course the usual list of sex gurus support the Act including NARAL, Planned Parenthood (PP), and the state teachers union. (Do most teachers really support this?)
Will they, one wonders, teach the kids that chlamydia, one of the most pervasive STDs among teens, is passed by skin to skin contact. Condoms, spermicides, pills, shots, patches, diaphragms, vaginal rings, the morning after pill, etc. do not protect against it. No doubt they will tell the kids they need not talk to their parents but can visit their friendly school counselor or local PP office to get whatever they need including STD treatments and AIDS tests...oh, and abortions when their birth control method fails. All of these sex ed programs increase the level of sexual activity among kids. Duh! That's what it's all about. PP doesn't make a cent off of chastity. These kids are sex consumers.
The "Healthy Youth Act" is anything but healthy for kids. It's all about arousing (pun intended) their curiosity about all things sexy and pleasurable. That these gifts from God are good only in the context of a faithful marriage will never cross the lips of the panderers teaching the courses.
If I lived in North Carolina and still had at kids at home, my middle schoolers would be learning at the kitchen table or in a faithful Catholic school. (Unfortunately sex ed has also invaded many Catholic schools so parents need to be sure they are safe alternatives.)
Although parents are permitted to opt their kids out of this immoral program, kids do a good job of teaching each other, especially when the material is titillating. Opting out is unlikely to protect the innocent from corruption.

In Example of "Newspeak" Democrats Use Franking Commission to Censor Republican Mailings

English author George Orwell invented the term "newspeak" in his futuristic novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four (written in 1949), about a dystopian society controlled by a Leviathan government ruled by "Big Brother." Newspeak was an alternate language that grew smaller every year with simplified vocabulary and grammar, reduced metaphors, synonyms, and antonyms. Word control aided thought control. (Consider the dumbing down of the American education system over the last two generations.)
In Big Brother's world thinking outside the limited language box was thoughtcrime or "crimespeak." In newspeak, words also were used in ways opposite to their meanings. For example, the war department was labeled the department of love. (Remember when Michael Jackson made the word "bad" mean good? That's newspeak.)Verbal engineering was one of Big Brother's control mechanisms as it is in the Obamanation as well as in the world of liberalism in general. (Examples abound. Those who advocate abortion are "pro-choice." Those promoting same-sex perversion are "gay." Dehydrating someone to death is "mercy" and the "right to die," etc.)
Now let's take a look at one of the latest Obama/Pelosi acts of newspeak and Democratic tyranny. The Franking Commission is the organization within Congress that approves the content of Congressional mass mailings. Recently they demanded that Republican members sending out mailings about Obama's health care plan must change the expression "government-run health care" to "public option health care." In a town hall meeting, Representative John Carter (R) from Texas used the sentence, “The House Democrats unveiled a government-run health care plan.” The Franking Commission instructed him that for approval of a mailing he wished to send out, the sentence must be changed to either "the house majority (sic) unveiled a public option health care plan" or "The House majority (sic) unveiled a health care plan...." (Note that he isn't even allowed to identify who the House majority is!)
Carter objected to the word police saying, “Why does the Franking Commission have the right to prevent me from freely speaking what I think my folks back home ought to hear and instead tell me I have to speak what the president said last night? [at his press conference]... I think that is an abridgement of free speech.” Members were also told they could not send out a colorful chart depicting the way Obamacare will operate that looks like a Rube Goldberg contraption.

The Democrats attempt to control members of Congress and frame all the issues by controlling the verbal descriptions is just the beginning. With "hate crimes" legislation looming on the horizon the American people better get ready for the Big Brother "crimespeak" treatment. The Democrats haven't brought out the spiders and rats yet to reeducate citizens' thought patterns like Big Brother did in 1984, but give them time. This administration is young. Maybe that's part B of the plan.
