I’ve noticed a recent trend to stop using the terms Pro-Choice and Pro-life…
…among certain journalists.
In this article the author refers to the two sides as “abortion rights supporters” and “anti-abortion groups”.
I have two things to say about this:
- Since when does a journalist get to decide what a movement is called? The two sides already have preferred names. In fact, viagra sale find the article is filled with quotes from people who call themselves pro-life or organizations with pro-choice in their name.
- If the pro-choice side gets to be called “abortion rights supports,” I think the pro-life side should be referred to as “fetus rights supporters.”
