With the March for Life last weekend, and the Women’s March on Washington the week before that, so the debate over being pro-life versus being pro-abortion has been given a lot of attention lately. Pro-abortion advocates have taken that opportunity to try to redefine what it means to be pro-life.<\/p>\n

At Time, Danya Ruttenberg argues that women should “reclaim” the term pro-life<\/a>. (Nevermind that about half of all American women<\/a>\u00a0already consider themselves to be pro-life.) “It\u2019s time to re-appropriate the term pro-life. Those who want to take away both women\u2019s reproductive health care and everyone else\u2019s every-kind-of health care have lost their right to the term,” Ruttenberg wrote. “Pro-life is ours now. It should become a rallying point for those of us resisting the new Donald Trump Administration and its threats to our inalienable rights.”<\/p>\n

So what would the “new” pro-life mean? According to Ruttenberg, it means to be pro-gun control, anti-death penalty, pro-contraception, pro-abortion, pro-police reform, pro-refugee, and pro-climate change.<\/p>\n
