Semantics

Misalignment
06-06-2004, 21:43
Short post but I get great amusement from the word play that goes on when sides are opposed on an issue...

example:
Common parlance refers to it as the ProLife/ProChoice debate thus keeping either side from sounding demonized by words used.

while I've heard those on the Pro-life side refer to the other side as Pro-Abortion

and though I've never actually heard it said, I'm pretty sure that some on the Pro-choice side refer to the other side as Anti choice....


Thus through the magic of word play the issue somewhat obscured

I invite anyone to present both sets of terms in a similar debate, and request that it be done in a non-flamebaiting manor
