No, it is just a rule of the AP stylebook. Editors may not allow the term "pro-life." It must be called "anti-abortion." They also must call pro-abortion "abortion rights." It's right there in the style book that all editors are required to follow if their stories are carboned onto the AP wire.
Some automaton copy editor was "just following orders" and not gathering the real meaning of the copy. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

Ah, what happens when we run everything thru the politically correct generator. Its a little like spell check, sometimes the term is correct, but doesn't make any sense.

I am in favor of calling the other side "pro-death" or maybe "pro baby murder for convience sake".

hehehe...wonder if they automatically run an application that changes any words "pro-life" to "anti-abortion" before any story is printed. Sounds like their bias backfired on them.
Just another case of leftists doing their best to distort what's good.

Even in their stupidity the Left understands the power of words and uses that power with a deftness that those on the Right can not even imagine.
Those that control the language control the debate and those that control the debate usually win.

In my opinion, "pro-life" is a bit tricky. I know many people who are "pro-life", which to them means both opposed to abortion and opposed to the death penalty. (Interestingly, some of these "pro-life" people have more exceptions to their abortion beliefs than a legal disclaimer at a used car dealership.)
I consider myself "anti-abortion." Or, I could be considered "pro-innocent life."
I believe abortion kills children, and I am opposed to it. On the other hand, I vigorously support the death penalty. So I can see why some would not believe I am "pro-life."

Here's a better change -
'PRO LIFE' to 'ANTI-CHILD KILLER'

Unfortunately, the threat of "I'll stop subscribing to your newspaper" is empty now, since all decent people have already stopped taking it. They've called to say they're going to give us free papers for one week, at which point I've gone ballistic and shouted that if I even SEE one of their rags in my driveway they'll be sued. Haven't seen one yet.
