pro-choice


I see what you did there.

Originally, it was pro-abortion and anti-abortion, but the pros didn’t want it to be so blatant, so they went with pro-choice, shifting the frame from the baby to the mother’s right to decide about her own body.

The antis preferred being seen as for something rather than against something, so they went to pro-life. It’s all a matter of manipulation. See also the morphing of dole to welfare to public assistance. It’s everywhere.

Of course, if you get into the habit of calling everything as you see it, you’ll be labeled as sexist, racist, homophobic, bigoted and uncaring. Take your pick.

As for me, no matter how cynical I get, it’s never enough.
