Why are we so cognitively and emotionally locked into calling abortion a moral dilemma at all?

H. is making one hell of a lot of assumptions about language in that extract, as is Finnis.

Wasn't one of the points of liberalism that we can choose to be free from using moral discourse in contexts we previously thought were ineliminably about morals and ethics?
