>"pro-abortion" lol. heartless thing to laugh about

• cortesoft 10y ago
  He is laughing at your loaded word choice - no one is 'pro-abortion', they are 'pro-choice'.

    Same thing, and abortion is nothing to laugh about
  • hueving 10y ago
    Why is it loaded? It's the choice to have an abortion. It's like claiming 'pro-gun' is a loaded word when the supporters want people to have the choice to own a gun.

      I think 'pro-gun' is a bit different.... in fact, I think a better analogy would be people who want citizens to have the right to use a gun in self-defense against an intruder. You wouldn't say the person who is in favor of legal self-defense is 'pro-shooting-people', they just want people to have the right to do it if they need to. Someone who is 'pro-choice' doesn't want everyone to go out and have abortions every day, they want a woman to have the right to one if they need it.
