For the same reason they change the names of other things.The use of this sort of euphemism suggests to me that abortion supporters themselves aren't entirely convinced of the merits of their position. If abortion isn't wrong, why don't they feel comfortable with the term "pro-abortion"?
I acknowledge that the same could be said of anti-abortion being called "pro-life". I personally find that term corny as well, and generally do not use it to refer to myself.
For example...
Homo - changed to "gay."
Illegal alien - changed to "undocumented immigrant."
Terrorism - changed to "work place violence."
Terrorist - changed to "extremist."
And so on... it's a play on words by progtards and commies to make bad people and bad things appear more innocent and palpable... to the stupid and easily mislead.
Protards call this name game, "political correctness."
