“I don’t think that mattered much.”

It matters a great deal. The words we use shape our worldview more than we realize. That is why the left is so intent upon imposing their vocabulary.

For instance, to argue about “abortion rights” is to concede that there *could* be a right to kill an innocent, preborn human being, without ever examining that question on its merits. It simply assumes it, which is a significant victory for evil.

Sanity, of course, requires that we reject that notion out of hand. What would be the source of such a right? Would God say that it is okay to kill a baby?

When you start from that premise, it is a very different argument.

I think the term ‘right to choose’ instead of ‘pro-abortion’ is a more effective term swap because we all want to be able to choose. What is also perverse is that the ‘right to choose’ crowd is against our right to choose almost anything in our lives, abortion is a specific right they give to only women. They are collectivists.
