My greatest fury with MSM on "women's issues" is how they've colluded, forever, with the right wing in terms of language. And continue to do so.
There is no such thing as "pro-abortion". There never has been. It's a term created by the anti-choice crowd to slur the issue. I've even written to the NYT about that term repeatedly being used by some of their staff--today.
The term is "pro-choice". Always has been. I've been in these trenches since the mid-70s.Of course, this is not the only language that the right wing, and corporate media, have distorted--they are now too many to count.

Thanks so much, as always, for your art!
