could we not concede the wording?

[barbtries]

"Pro-life" means anti-abortion, anti-choice, anti-women, pro-forced birth.

or does it? I am pro life, all for it. Please can we call anti-abortionists what they are instead of what they are not? THEY appropriated that term and it's misleading and wrong. If I say pro-life I am not talking about any person who does not respect my bodily autonomy, ever.

take it back, take it away from the other side.

1. I favor "forced birthers" myself...

I'm pro-life, too. Just not "pro potential life."

2. Good luck with that.

I remember Keith Ohlberman calling us pro-abortion.

7. i hear you.

my personal crusade to change the language! lol
ain't giving up though. I bring it up often. maybe it'll take eventually.

9. If it helps I say "pro-a woman's-choice"

[Ilsa]

3. Anti-choice has been my preferred term.

No one likes or wants an abortion. Abortion is a procedure that is needed.

4. Back in the day when we were fighting to pass Roe...

we called them forced birthers.

5. I thought we changed that and used the term "anti-choice". I thought that was effective.

Is it not?

6. i made this thread

because of another thread on DU in which the term "pro life" is seen repeatedly when what is meant is "anti-choice" or another of the preferred, more accurate terms. it's sort of a pet peeve.

8. Oh, I see. Got it. Thanks for the clarification.
