Pro-Life

You know, the debate over abortion has been one of the most divisive issues in America for 30 years. Even the terminology is problematic. Both sides want to be Pro something not Anti something. People that want to criminalize abortion have taken to calling themselves "Pro-Life" rather than "Anti-Abortion" but of course "Pro-Choice" (not "Pro-Abortion" natch) people object to this. If you're Pro-Life that seems to imply your opposition is, what, anti-life?

But sometimes it's possible to put aside these petty squabbles and agree on some terms. And I think we can all agree that this politician is Pro-Life.
