Comments on: Harold Ford Makes it in New York, New York http://www.liberadio.com/2010/02/02/harold-ford-makes-it-in-new-york-new-york/ with Mary Mancini & Freddie O'Connell Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:05:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Dean http://www.liberadio.com/2010/02/02/harold-ford-makes-it-in-new-york-new-york/comment-page-1/#comment-181022 Dean Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:58:03 +0000 http://www.liberadio.com/2010/02/02/harold-ford-makes-it-in-new-york-new-york/#comment-181022 "Stop using the term “pro-life.” It’s their language not ours. It will never be ours and can only be defined by the definition they have chosen for it." Thank you, Mary! The term "pro-life" bugs me to no end, as if those who support a woman's right to choose are anti-life. The only worse term is "pro-abortion," which is so ugly on so many fronts. I'm tired of some Democrats ceding the moral ground on this issue. I've said it before and I'll say it again — the pro-choice crowd is for prevention of abortion through a well-thought-out variety of strategies; the anti-choice crowd is for criminalization of abortion, which is an overly simplistic answer to a complex problem. “Stop using the term “pro-life.” It’s their language not ours.
