"Anti-choice", because words matter

Last edited Mon Nov 30, 2015, 09:53 PM - Edit history (1)

I am pro-choice, for keeping abortions safe and legal. Those supporting the terrorism and murder of 3 people are in no way "pro-life". If you are happy about murders you are by definition NOT pro-life.

What they are is anti-choice.

They do not think women should have the choice of a legal, medical abortion. They are against that choice, anti-choice.

I am pro-life in that I am against killing those I disagree with, against the death penalty, against bombing random people.

Those protesting outside clinics are pro-death.

They are also anti-choice and IIIwill continue to call then that and explain why with these 2 questions.

Should women have the choice of legal, hygienic medical abortion?
Is it OK to kill people who are associated with clinics that provide abortions?

Do not use "pro life." Not just because there isn't evidence that these people are "pro life," but also because it implies that pro-choice people are therefore "pro death."
