Usage
"It was in popular use during the first half of the 19th century, especially in legislative bodies, as the word slavery was deemed "improper," and was actually banned in certain areas."

Removal
Removed the phrase "perception, as they see it" referring to abortion, as it is redundant. Eran of Arcadia 14:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
