Thing is, they twist anti-abortion as being a bad thing, because they consider abortion it's own category.
I'm not looking to play word games like they do, but it's good to have a phrase which most accurately describes your aim. When talking to a pro-murder fanatic: We're against abortion because we're anti-murder, do you mean to tell me you're pro-murder?
We basically agree, and I get what you're arguing.
But lets just say you represent, oh...
Level one. Frame the debate
Level two. Instigate protectionary legislation
I'm more level two. Yes, I get you're not a fan of my level two. But, again, I am. We could get into legal theory and history, but let's just say that is my informed opinion.
We have laws against stealing. We have laws against different types of stealing - burglary, petty theft, robbery, etc. Laws against abortion are against "murder," but a specific type of murder.
I have no problem with your level two. In fact I have a whole set of ideas on how anti-murder should be applied in pregnancy cases that I'd like to see turned into laws. But I don't think we get there without going through level one.
Agreed. But in order to convince others, I think taking an anti-murder stance is more compelling.
Maybe.
Maybe not. I've seen nothing about this. I think the principle isn't one of semantics. The left are the ones to typically play games with words -
Pro-choice
Anti-abortion (vs. pro-life.)
It's about do we support abortion as a policy or not.
