NPR Admits It Pro Choice IS Pro-Abortion

Recently NPR sent out a memo about how NPR wll now identify people who support or oppose abortion. They decided to no longer use "pro-choice" or "pro-life." Now they are to use "abortion rights supporter(s)/advocate(s)" & "abortion rights opponent(s)" or deriviatives thereof. While most people got the 1 side of this right, it shows the Main Stream Media bias against the Pro-Life Movement, I haven't seen 1 person who caught the other side of this. That it is no longer using Pro-choice as the default description for those who support abortion.

Here is the memo with my comments:

This updated policy is aimed at ensuring the words we speak and write are as clear, consistent and neutral (LOL, by the mere fact that they paint pro-lifers as opposed to a "right" that we don't see as a right & they know isn't really a right shows that they are being anything but neutral. Rather they are trying to paint us even more so as the bad guys. But, as I have said before, when you support killing what is a little false witness?) as possible. This is important given that written text is such an integral part of our work.
On the air, we should use "abortion rights supporter(s)/advocate(s)" and "abortion rights opponent(s)" or derivations thereof (for example: "advocates of abortion rights"). (Note that they don't extend the same respect to us by condoning the use of "advocates of unborn rights". But that is because they are NOT neutral, they see abortion as a right, not as something even open to debate. This proves they are not neutral.) It is acceptable to use the phrase "anti-abortion", (again evidence that shows they are not neutral, but are actually pro-abortion. It is OK to show Pro-lifers in a negative sense, but not pro-aborts. If that isn't bias, I don't know what is.) but do not use the term "pro-abortion rights". (I suspect that they knew that if they went this far it would spell things out just a little clearer than they want, not realizing that is what they have already all but said.)
Digital News will continue to use the AP style book for online content, which mirrors the revised NPR policy.
Do not use "pro-life" (Which IS what we are.) and "pro-choice" (But, isn't Pro-choice what most of them, except the abortion industry, want to be known as to cover up the fact that they are pro-abortion?) in copy except when used in the name of a group. Of course, when the terms are used in an actuality they should remain." [An actuality is a clip of tape of someone talking. So if a source uses those terms, NPR will not edit them out.] (This is the only place where they ARE neutral.) (NPR Changes Abortion Language)

What is really sad is that up to now NPR would use the term "Pro-life" for those of us who are. They changed because Pro-aborts didn't like us being described that way. 1 of those in particular was unhappy because she thought that being against the death penalty while supporting abortion makes her pro-life. Talk about a disconnect. Even the Catholic Church allows for the death penalty under certain very limited circumstances (Catholic Catechism 2266-67), yet makes it clear abortion IS an intrinsic evil that is never allowed (Cathechism 2270-75). (For more on what the Catholic Church actually teaches on the death penalty: Cardinal Avery Dulles, Catholicism and Capital Punishment (2001). Even death penalty opponant Cardinal Renato R. Martino admits "Many state — and accurately — that the Church has never absolutely banned the death penalty."

Somewhere down the road the pro-aborts will realize that even this is going to far in blowing their cover they hide under in using the term "pro-choice". You will see abortion supporters again refered to as "pro-choice" by pro-lifers will continue to be described as anti-abortion rights. In the mean time, whether they may have realized it or not, they have admitted what we have known all along, pro-choice IS pro-abortion.
