NPR Shifts Abortion Language to Neutral
01 April 2010 9:13 am by Taylor Marsh

File this in the category of under the radar and it’s about time.

I’ve been saying for, well, forever, that the so called “pro-life”
contingent is only pro-selective life. Many of these same people are
against stem cell research, for the death penalty, but also in favor
of putting a woman second and a slave to her own body, while some want
her not to have control over it. The graphic below appeared in
Newsweek online and was utilized by a young, right-wing group online
whose sole purpose is dedicated to stripping women of their right to
self-determination. Michelle Malkin trumpeted them recently when she
covered NPR’s shift in abortion language. I’m not aware of any young
and aggressive progressive group fighting to maintain women’s rights.
But finally, after decades of having won our freedoms, a move by some
in the media to neutral and more even rhetorical ground.
