Pro-life liberals and the Democratic platform: Steven Waldman, the editor-in-chief of Beliefnet, is disappointed by the abortion plank in the draft Democratic platform. The key linguistic debate has been whether to reduce the number of abortions or reduce the need for abortions, Waldman writes on his Beliefnet blog. Pro-life folks favored the former. Pro-choice folks favored the latter.
Yeah, why not both? Its all about what the language implies. Pro-choicers care about preserving the choice above all.
