There is one legitimate problem with the terms “pro-choice” and “pro-life”: They cause confusion. I myself sometimes mix up the two terms. Everybody likes life, and everybody likes choice. I know my opinion on the issue but sometimes have to ask myself, which “pro-” label should I identify myself with?
It’s weird.
yhxw here puts it nicely as to why I don’t find the terms very useful and informative. Divisive was not the proper adjective to use.
