Liberal Media Bend Over Backwards To Avoid Describing March For Life As Pro-Life
Daily Caller ^ | 1/27/17 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 01/27/2017 6:26:43 PM PST by markomalley

Liberal media outlets bent over backwards to avoid describing the March for Life as pro-life, relying exhaustively terms like “anti-abortion” or “abortion opponents” to describe the hundreds of thousands of pro-life marchers in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

“Anti-Abortion Groups Hold Triumphant Rally After Obama Years” was how the Associated Press titled its coverage of the march, later referring to the pro-life marchers as a “politically ascendant anti-abortion movement.”

“Vice President Mike Pence told the crowd at the March for Life that anti-abortion policies were a top priority of the new administration,” was how the AP story described Pence’s speech, which referred to “pro-life majorities” in the House and Senate. NPR described Pence’s reference to “pro-life majorities” as “emphasizing the electoral victories of anti-abortion candidates.”

The GREAT part is that NONE OF THIS, the msm not covering what we want but covering EVERYTHING liberal, lying, deceiving, calling Trump EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK..

takes one day away from his 1400 plus days in office :)

The election’s over. Nobody told them.

Trump speaks directly to 10s of millions of people now on twitter.

Life is good.

Interesting is it not?

If a man suddenly “identifies” as a woman. every media outlet will call him “her” and “she”, but a Pro-life group will always be referred to as “anti-abortion”.

I think Pro-life groups should insist in every media interview that they “identify” as Pro-life and must be addressed accordingly to mercilessly mock the media.

“Anti-Abortion Groups Hold Triumphant Rally After Obama Years”

Misleading headline

Implies that the March for Life wasn’t held during the eight years of the Obama occupation.

A news station here mentioned that Pence was there and that he was anti pro choice.

Words have meanings
It's the words you use and how you use them.

Control of the lexicon is paramount to the rabid, anti-God left. “Pro-choice” really means “pro-abortion,” it has nothing to do with “choice.” Anti-abortion really means “pro-life.” Control the vocabulary and you control the minds of simpletons. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-17/control-language-and-you-control-mind

Not surprising.

It would be fine if they were consistent and called the other side pro-abortion.

But they don’t and won’t.

Commie abortion loving media has been calling the March today “The Anti Abortion March” all day long..notice no disgusting signs at the March, no one wearing Vagina outfits..everyone that came were hard working Americans who value LIFE and that is something the abortion loving media can’t stand

Notice the pro abortion crowd never brings up the “Choice” of the unborn baby..Tell a pro abort person that their own mother was Pro Life, otherwise they would not be here and see the reaction on their face

Biggest liberal fear is that Planned Parenthood will hit the dustbin of history and people well actually have to take responsibility for their sexual behavior.

“....anti pro-choice.”

Well bless their evil little hearts. They’re determined to be the pro-somethings, so they must paint us as the anti-somethings.
Ok. We can play wordscrabble, too.
We can call them pro-death. Pro-aborts. Pro-babykilling. Pro-infanticide. Pro-dismemberment. Anti-lifers. Anti-babies. (I’m fond of that one.) Anti-responsibles. Womb-wreckers. Womb-bats. Life deniers. Science deniers. Uterine content-deniers. Uterine terrorists. Fetus scramblers. Fetus rapers.
Etc. etc.

The same lying commies will forever say that Margaret Sanger was “pro-choice” but in this audio clip, she was decidedly ANTI-Choice advocating for suicide of the west killing off ALL babies in the West for 10 years following WWII.

No apologies to the women who would be unable to bear children AFTER the 10 year moratorium would be lifted.

“Pro-choice” really means “Pro-death.” Let’s get realistic.
