That's why I never use the words pro-life or pro-choice. That implies you support that particular side and it's 100% shitty emotional manipulation done by women to other women.
Pro/anti-abortion is far more accurate and it removes the emotional baggage.
Ah the enlightened masculine autist, too good to go around employing effective rhetoric or actually persuading anybody, instead insisting on their own 'more accurate' terms. The kind of person who proclaims "I don't call them social justice warriors, they are social justice crybabies instead, because they are weak crybabies". Not realizing that the 'warrior' part is effective in its mocking tone while also being associated with zealotry, as well as being an effective subversion of their own terms for themselves (it started as their term), and with the fact that its widely used and understood already, its already more effective, far more than the 'more accurate' term they insist upon.
Because each side has drawn those lines, using the term 'Anti abortion' makes you sound like an abortion advocate mate. It also implies you are on a side, the side of Singer and AOC. You're off trying to do your own thing, which unwittingly just makes you sound like an abortionist
