Abortion questions...?

So we are to use a different definition here at EvC then the rest of society ?Because, as I showed, pro-abortion already has a definition. You can't change it because you don't like it ...

You admit that it's nuanced and then you ignore the nuance.No, pro-choice is not automatically pro-abortion. As I said, I'm anti-abortion.To add yet another analogy, I'm pro-drug-legalization but I'm anti-drug-use.You have to use the nuance whether your pet dictionary mentions it or not. That isn't an EvC exception. It's English. Do it right or expect to be called on it again and again.

Nope. Same definition. You even stated that we are for legalization, so why not call us pro-legalization? You have to break your own rules to call it pro-abortion.

I guess I can call you pro-abortion-legalization'cause pro-legalization is not specific to what is to be legalized (unless, I guess, it could apply to someone who wants ot legalize everything)

This has nothing to do with any sort of pet dictionnary. This is a universal definition. I have yet to find any definition that diverges from what I am telling you the definition is.When a creationist comes in with a wrong definition of the word ''evolution'', you correctly refer him to the dictionnary definition of the word. Why can't the same apply here ? Why do you accept the dictionnary definition of a word only when you like it ?

Did abortion still happen when it was illegal?

If abortions were made illegal again would there still be abortions?Edited by jar, : fix subtitle

Pro-abortion is not specific to what is being aborted. Pro-abortion could mean that we are for the abortion of countdowns prior to a space shuttle launch. Pro-abortion could mean we are for the stopping of everything. How far do you want to carry these silly semantics?I suppose we could also ignore the nuances of other labels. I would assume that you are for the freedom of religion, so that would make you pro-muslim I would assume. You might be pro-gun, so you might be pro-killing. Need I go on?

Opposed to the right of women to have the choice to terminate a pregnancy by induced abortion.

"What can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof."-Hitch.

Because you're the one who's misusing the definition.I'm anti-abortion. What part of that do you not understand?How can I be anti-abortion and pro-abortion at the same time?

I'm not the one carrying silly semantics.I use a word with the exact meaning it has in the dictionnary. I do this with every word I use in a sentence. You are the ones playign stupid semantics games, trying to add imaginary extra definitions to a word that doesn't.When I use 'pro-abortion' in a sentence, I use it in the sense 'someone who is in favor of the legalization of abortion', no more, no less. I'm no using it in any other imaginary way.

yes

I'd like to see someone who is pro-abortion? I'm pro-choice but detest abortion. I can also see that, at times, abortion is the lessor of 2 evils.

In that case, I am pro-life, for I favor life being legal.
