1 of the biggest cop outs I hear from some so-called (alledged) Catholics is "I'm not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice." Their claim is that there is a difference. Well, I decided to see what the dictionary had to say. Here is what I found at some of the on-line dictionaries:
Pro-abortion: adj. - Favoring or supporting legalized abortion
Pro-choice: adjective - supporting or advocating legalized abortion.
Pro-abortion: adjective - favoring the legalization of abortion
Pro-choice: adjective - favoring the legalization of abortion
I love how the next 2 use a bunch of fancy sophistry to say favoring the right to abortion for pro-choice:
Pro-abortion: adj. - Favoring or supporting legalized abortion.
Pro-choice: adj. - Favoring or supporting the legal right of women and girls to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy to term. (This whole thing is just a fancy way of saying choosing to have a legal abortion.)
Pro-abortion: ADJECTIVE - Favoring or supporting legalized abortion.
pro-choice: ADJECTIVE - Favoring or supporting the legal right of women and girls to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy to term. (Like I said!)
Anyhow remember 1 of the basic axioms of math: If a=b & b=c then a=c.
So, the next time you hear someone say "I'm not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice." Tell them that to stop the sophistry, the terms are synonomous. & if they say otherwise, tell them they are lying plain & simple.
