I call that *Dishonesty*.
How is it dishonest?
You support the right to own a gun. You are pro-gun.
I support her right to choose. I am pro-choice.
Choose what? it's ambiguous, dehumanizing, and hides the truth of the discussion. It is a catch phrase invented by Now to change the frame of the discussion from being against the act of abortion to an ambiguous general term.
Just like "man-caused disasters".
No one is "pro-abortion". I think I am pretty accurate in stating that most pro-choicers when I say that no one is all like "Yay!!!! Abortions for everyone. YAY!!!! Happy abortion day!"
I think you are taking "pro-abortion" the wrong way, I don't mean it like I think aps or others want people to have abortions at all..
I know people who are "pro-gun" but would never own one. You can be pro-abortion but never get one, or even want to see people get one.
