It's as dishonest and biased to describes the entire issue as "disallowing discussion" or "quieting voices you don't like" as it is to describe abortion as "murdering babies". It says you don't actually want to talk about it.

Actually, "murdering babies" is the so called standard argument in the discourse moral philosophy had regarding abortion:

US public perception might have swung to favor a different weighting, but not following this is clearly far from "not wanting to talk about it".

I still think it is a great example for this HN thread though, as having different opinions is suddenly perceived as a hostile act with - presumably - mean intentions.
