Pro-Life. Pro-Abortion. Democrat Party.

words that should only be said by the other side. They are anti-choice, not pro-life. Don't dignify these people with that term.

1. And clearly anti-life, when you get down to it. n/t

2. That which denies the Oppressive that which to oppress should be considered an act of Conscience. n

3. Pro Lifers are actually Pro Death! They want to keep a small piece of meat

alive but it's OK to have soldiers killed for a lie and to fry people in the electric chair.

4. This discussion shouldn't be framed as pro anything.

It's really about a woman's right to determine how many children she wants to give birth to and raise. It's about women's rights. No pro this or anti that as defined mostly by men.

5. Thank you for the lucid post, Cleita. "Pro" is like it's a football competition.

6. Anti-choice isn't as good as "pro-criminalization," my preferred term.

It gets the debate back into the real world, which is what those who call themselves "pro life" really like to avoid--because they know damn well they can't get voting Americans to go along with an abortion ban.

7. They are "forced-birth"...

...that is how I refer to them.

Your point is a good one though.

8. They're only pro-life if they're also against capital punishment.

And, as we well know, they aren't.

9. I blame us progressives for allowing them to define the terms of the debate.

I attempted to change my thought processes and my words. I started using 'anti-choice' but even liberals/progressives I spoke to just didn't get it. How do we continue to allow them to decide the parameters of the debate. Even Democrats themselves have resorted to the "DemoCRAT" party rather than the "DemocraTIC" party. It's nonsense.

10. They have value only for the unborn. Everyone else means nothing.

Its kind of ironic yet utterly stupid.

11. Randi Rhodes used to say the GOP loves the fetus but hates the child
