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 the same reason they change the names of other things.
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."
Look up Frank Luntz, the grand daddy of modern political wordsmithing. No one does it better. He made it a science and happens to be a conservative consultant and pollster.
Bull shit. I know exactly who he is and what he does, and you're full of shit.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS was BORN FROM THE BOWELS of LIBERALS. THEY started it basically with the renaming of homos to GAY. I remember when this was done sometime in the late 60's to very early 70's. They did it because they knew they could never push their perverted sexual mental illness to be accepted if people kept calling them HOMO, or QUEER, or worse yet ******. So they picked the CUTEST little name they could that had ZERO to do with their disgusting perversion and started calling themselves GAY, and then began a LOUD, FULL FRONTAL, MILITANT STYLE ASSAULT on anyone who DARE use one of the OLD terms, and it worked. They got people to start calling them GAY, and thus they were able to distract the stupid and easily mislead away from the true nature of their disgusting mental illness, and through persistence and homo mafia tactics, they've won much ground.
Others witnessed this phenomenon and wanted to duplicate it, thus the NAME GAME was born, and they needed something to call it, so they called it POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, and it is AAAAAAALL the doing of the LEFT, the LIBERALS, the PROGTARDS, the PROGRESSIVES, the PAJAMA BOYS, in other words... DEMOCRATS.
That's why you will NEVER see me play this STUPID GAME.
Illegal aliens - STILL ILLEGAL ALIENS
Homo - STILL A HOMO
Pro choice - PRO MURDER OF THE UNBORN
