As with many things, it's a little more complicated:
But in follow-up reporting, The New York Times cited “a few” CDC officials who suggested the move was not meant as an outright ban, but rather, a technique to help secure Republican approval of the 2019 budget by eliminating certain words and phrases.

I find it funny that this is news. Government does this all the time. All. The. Time.

It’s literally banning key terms that will make a plethora of subjects exponentially more difficult to write about (or even write about).   A man who’s supposedly pro life shouldn’t block fetus, especially considering how they are vital to understanding how to stop several illnesses

That's kind of the point.. Since you used fetus as example, I'll use it to make my point. If you can't use the word fetus, what other words are you likely to use instead with less clinical detachment?  

The US is slowly moving towards fascism.

Freedom of speech right there!

That's already been happening. They're being removed from government buildings and there's people pushing for god to be removed from anything. Theres no praying in schools. Personally, I'm not religious so I don't care about those words getting buried but the hyperbolic reaction to this shit is hilarious. The words that are mainly being targeted are terms that have some political meaning or that would trigger progressives. Trolling is a smart tactic in politics because it's not done much and it's very public. There's no take backs. If you and I were running for a senate seat, it would be fairly easy to get you to flip your shit and say something crazy that voters wouldn't like. Just tweet a funny gif or make a comment about Israel on your page. Boom, I'm in.  

just 7 more years. its almost over.

 There's no obligatory praying in schools. You can pray (or not pray) to whomever you want so long as it doesn't disrupt class.

Explain discouraging 'evidence-based' and 'science-based', then. Are science and evidence really partisan terms, now?

Will TC respond to this? Because so far, he hasn’t corrected this thread.
