Media Linking Pro-Life to Murder

We all agree words have meaning. Words are very important when it comes to the battle over abortion. The mainstream media—largely no friend of unborn babies—is well aware of this and uniformly refuses to call us pro-life. We’re always described as “anti-abortion.” While at the same time, pro-abortion people are defined as “pro-choice” or “abortion rights advocates.” Get it? Anti-abortion sounds negative while abortion rights advocates sounds positive. Now in the wake of the murder of a late-term abortionist, the media are beginning to have a reawakening of sorts. Several headlines have now used the term “pro-life” to describe the suspected murderer or his associations. If you think some in the media are trying to link us with those who murder, you’d be right. Take the media with a grain of salt.
