If you’ve noticed that the politicians who claim the “pro-life” label are often singularly focused on restricting abortion, and aren’t necessarily working on other policy proposals that could save lives, there’s a new Google extension for you.

An extension released this week will change every mention of “pro-life” to “anti-choice” once it’s added to a Chrome browser. “Tired of seeing the fraught term ‘pro-life’ used ubiquitously and incorrectly, we conceived of this extension to shift the language of the discussion towards a more accurate framework,” explains an online description of the “Choice Language” tool.

The extension was created by an activist who wishes to remain anonymous; she partnered with the National Institute for Reproductive Health Action Fund to release it to the public this week.
“We thought it was a really interesting and creative idea,” Andrea Miller, the president of NIRH, told ThinkProgress. “We agreed with her that the language in this discussion really matters.”

This should be fun!

2. It certainly is!

Now if we could train everyone to do this it would be even more awesome.


I forgot to include the link, which I just added.

3. There are some who identify as "Pro-Life" who don't really know what it means.

In other groups, I have seen some posts along the lines of "I am 100% pro-life, I could never have an abortion, but it is a personal decision and I would not judge any woman who did make that choice."

5. Excellent!

That's one of my pet peeves, that bullshit pro life label.. I'm pro life, but I'm pro choice. Actually, I'm pro it's nobody's fucking business but the woman's.

6. I prefer the term "Forced Birth"... nt
