It is standard practice to honor a movement's preferred name for itself. Here are the results of a Google News search on 'Pro-Life' -- which is what the pro-life movement calls itself:
Results 1 - 10 of about 1,630 for Pro-Life
A Google News search on 'Anti-Abortion' (what the pro-choice movement calls the pro-life movement):
Results 1 - 10 of about 2,280 for Anti-Abortion.
By contrast, the breakdown for the Pro-Choice movement is:
Results 1 - 10 of about 1,680 for Pro-Choice.
Results 1 - 10 of about 423 for Pro-Abortion.
Results of searches for other perjorative names for the Pro-Choice movement, such as Anti-Life or Pro-Death produced a fairly trivial number of hits.
Notice that there is over twice the interest in pro-life information as there is in abortion info.
But "baby killer" gets you 49,000+ hits!
Yeah, but confront one of the little slippery scribblers about it and they will play innocent. "Oh, I never even thought about it..." That's what I've been told anyway.
