If you want to lecture me on the use of a negative versus a positive, just remember where's there's a negative, there's a positive. I infer that where there is ProLIFE the other side is anti-life. So, my point is and I'll continue to refer to them as such that is pro-choice, versus anti-choice.

Just using the word anti makes it bad. Never use the negative when trying to make a good impression. Always spin to make it a possitive.

And I'll keep calling you anti-life.

Jason, I agree with your semantics point to a certain extent. The only issue is that if I am to discuss my feelings on the issue, I'm not going to feel comfortable using "pro-life" to describe what people who are against abortion believe because that implies I'm pro-death. I'm not pro-death because I don't think it's a life.

Anyway, pro-life people call themselves that and I'm fine with it. They can call themselves whatever they want so long as abortion stays legal and I can have my monthly d&c "just to make 100% sure" I'm not pregnant.

And with that, I'm off to get my monthly abortion. Peace out.

So do advocates think that there should be any restrictions on abortion?

Steve, leave well enough alone on this one. I'm begging you.

I don't feel that way. I don't think that calling yourself one thing doesn't make people on the other side the exact antitisis of it. I'm pro-death(abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment), but people who are against abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment are not anti-death.

That's you, Jason. Obviously other people don't share that view.

To me, if you were really pro-death, you would want everyone dead. Which I don't doubt.

Not everyone. :twisted:
