That’s pro-semantics. I’d rather not play word games. If you’re pro-choice you are pro-abortion


It's not word games. It is quite possible to believe that something is wrong and people should not do it while at the same time believing that whether or not people do that wrong thing should be their decision.


On the other hand

- that is semantics (if you want the choice to exist, you're pro-abortion, existentially speaking)

- everyone knew what the poster meant

- this is the least interesting conversation derailment folks could choose. Maybe instead go to bat against the raging anti-trans statement included for some reason?
