Of course, they use “a womens right to choose” instead of “murder” as a euphemism. In political ads assailing a conservative candidate, they usually say something such as this: “xxx opposed a women’s right to choose”.

Also, another example of using such euphemisms is quite prevalent in race and intelligence research.
