    Oh neat, this is a divisive rhetorical device. Don’t actually constructively argue for a policy you prefer, just attack how people talk about it. It’s fascinating to notice bad faith republican techniques you’ve only read about.

      @meco03211 is pretty squarely presenting the difference between “pro-choice” and “pro-abortion” branding. No harm in pointing out that some debates aren’t worth wasting energy on until they’re properly framed.

        This was entirely the point. So often I’ve seen those “debates” devolve into the righty arguing against murder and the lefty arguing in favor of choice and never address the other’s concerns. That’s convincing no one.
