Pro-abortion vs. Pro-Life, why do we use Propaganda terms?
Advertisements [?]
Even Amy Goodman this morning was talking about "pro-abortion" people...

Please, let's get the correct semantics and try to enforce them:
There are 2 positions on the problem of a woman's right to choose:
1 - Pro-Choice
or
2 - Anti-Choice

No one is ever "pro-abortion" (how can anyone be? Would they say "guess what I'm doing next week? I'm so excited! I am getting an abortion!Yay!!Isn't it awesome?")NO ONE!
And, we know that the so-called "pro-life" people are generally "pro-war", "pro-revenge" and "pro-death penalty" so both are misnomers and should never be used by thinking folks...
