Instead of calling them "Pro Life"
I heard someone call them "Pro-coat hanger".

I say should use this moniker when addressing the Fundies who are out to reverse RvW.

We all know how back alley abortions were carried out in this country before RvW. I think this moniker is perfect.

1. I call them pro-birth
Once you arrive though, you are on your own.

24. Me too and have for years
for exactly the reason you state. I have tried at DU and other places to get folks to use this term because I am pro-life and refuse to give that term to the anti choice folks. I've noticed recently that Bernie Ward uses the pro-birth term. So pass it on maybe it will catch on.

3. How about Anti-Women.
They don't trust women to make decisions about their own bodies so they want the MEN to make them for them.

4. I call them "Pro-Existence" because..
..they (usually) don't care about the true Quality of life after birth when it comes to Our Air, Wages, Health-Care, War or what have you...

15. They also believe that women who die having unsafe abortions
get what they deserve.

Fundie Bastards.

16. I prefer "pro-fetus"
They want to save every fetus possible, but once that fetus has been born, they don't really give a shit anymore.

... pro-treason, pro-radical extremism, pro-rich, pro-racism, pro-lying, pro-high crimes & misdemeanors.
