According to the AP stylebook, "pro-life" would need to be replaced with "anti-abortion" because that is more neutral and carries fewer weighted connotations with it. I would suspect a large population would disagree with the AP conclusion, but it goes to show how difficult it is to avoid bias even in a simple fact-based question.
- yorwba 9y agoIf the article uses "pro-life" in the text, then the question asking you to confirm that you read that part doesn't add any new bias. If you didn't read the part but skimmed over it, you might be motivated to leave a comment to mention the AP stylebook's recommendation, to the benefit of other commenters.
