- I agree with you. It is for that reason that no one here has ever
- heard me refer to anyone on the pro-life side as anything other than
- pro-life. Do I think this is the best label for them? Actually,
- the one unifying thing on the prolife side is opposition to abortion,
- so "anti-abortion" would be more accurate. But since they have chosen
- to be referred to as "pro-life" that is how I refer to them. I have
- been called "pro-abort" several times however. Arguing with this
- only gets me classified as dishonest.
-
- Question for people would call me "pro-abort"...
-
- Do you believe in making swimming illegal? No? Tell me, how long
- have you been "pro-drowning". Don't try to deny it. You are for
- drowning. I could cut the number of drownings drastically by making
- it illegal to get in the water. If you oppose me, you must be
- "pro-drowning." You want to see people drown.
-
- I would like to see some respect on both sides of this, and at least
- see members of each side refer to the other side by labels the referent
- has chosen, if only because reduces unnecessary offensiveness and flames.
