Unless you have heard the whole interview, which I haven’t; the video is only 44 seconds, so I can’t tell
This 44 seconds, which opens up the interview, lays the ground for their discussion and all you need to see to understand my point. Mitchell, a liberal, open with associating her guest with Jesse Helms and John Ashcroft (very conservative), then, after broaching the topic (moving the Republican Party away from extreme views of women’s reproductive rights, introduces her guest, who says, “I’m very pro-life” (paraphrasing here), to which Mitchell immediately, almost under her breath, counters, “Let’s call it anti-abortion...the more value-neutral term...” (again, paraphrasing). To which her guest, almost without thinking, accedes.
Mitchell has taken control of the debate at that point. The debate is no longer about life, but a medical procedure...at the least, it has shifted away from consideration of the unborn and squarely onto consideration solely of the mother carrying the unborn. This is what happens in the abortion debate. The terms being set by the liberal, the pro-abortion/pro-choice individual has moved the debate by defining the terms.
