    Which is why allowing the right to use the label “pro-life” was a cardinal sin of the Democrats’ strategy

    I’m literally pro-life: I support saving lives whenever and wherever it’s reasonable to do so

    But I’m pro-choice, because I don’t think I should be the one to decide for everyone else which situation is reasonable and which isn’t. Also, women deserve basic fucking rights and bodily autonomy is, like, the number one most fundamental right

    We really ought to change the nature of the conversation: it’s not “pro-life”. It’s pro-enslavement, pro-religious-tyranny, and pro-absolutism

      I mean, do the democrats have any power to stop them from using that label? Like, sure, they could make a point of always calling them something else, but if they always use that term to describe themselves, then it will end up in the public consciousness anyway even if only from people asking what they mean by it.
