Topic	The terms "Pro-Life" and "Pro-choice " trigger me
Esrac 11/08/19 9:21:48 AM #24:	hockeybub89 posted... Esrac posted... Dark_Garioshi posted... "Pro-choice" is literally what the position is, though. "Pro-life" should be renamed "anti-choice" because that's literally what the position is. No, that is stupid and disingenuous, because the term only specifically applies to the choice to have an abortion. Uh.... no shit it only applies to abortion? It's about abortion. The people ignoring context are the ones pretending these are bad terms because they don't apply to literally all of life? If someone asks you about abortion, and you say "I'm pro-choice", it would make no sense for them to assume you support every choice on everything in the world. That's nonsensical. They're marketing terms because the real terms, pro- or anti- abortion, don't sound as friendly to their cause. No one mentions being pro-choice with the option of adoption. It is only for abortion, which is why it's a disingenuous term. You aren't advocating for choice, you're advocating for easy access to abortions. As someone mentioned earlier, people probably wouldn't be so pro-choice on other controversial issues, like vaccinations. <cite>Esrac posted [p:929842084] in The terms ...
