Ok, liberals think that pro-lifers are just pro-birth. Perhaps it would be ok to call pro-lifers that. It's accurate for some. Some pro lifers are very pro war, pro capital punishment. They aren't opposed to the taking of life. They are opposed to abortion, not opposed to killing when necessary.
However, pro-lifers self identify as pro-lifers, and pro-choicers, identify as pro-choice. This is not the 700 club, it's a news organization, which should refer to the group the way they self identify.
You really expect Fox NOT to be fair and balanced. You want them to call the pro-choice people murderers which is not what the news is about. Watch Pat Robertson to hear that.
I can respect pro-lifers who are against the death penalty. I might not agree with them, but at least they're consistent, unlike pro-aborts who are against the death penalty.
The abortion debate can't even get past terminology without arguing. I'd agree, if the MSM (and Fox) could be consistent with the terms I'd be happy, but so far nobody has. When was the last time you heard "pro-life" used over "anti-abortion"? It doesn't happen. I'm not ruling out Fox completely because I usually don't pay attention. I wouldn't have this morning except for Gretchen's POINTED correction of Steve and Brian.
Sooner or later the SCOTUS is going to be asked to define what life is. It might not be a revisit of Roe v. Wade: cloning lawsuits might do it. I'm just afraid of what the court will look like when that case reaches the bench.
