In the light of the debates surrounding the legislation of abortion in Ireland there are lot of documents being spread containing false, misleading and willfully confusing information.
Many anti-choice campaigners are trying to depict pro-choice campaigners as life-hating, atheist extremists that will use abortions as their number one contraception method.
The term "pro-life" indicates that their opponents are against life itself which, apart from being a ridiculous statement, is certainly untrue. Therefore we demand that the term "pro-life" gets banned from official use and replaced with a representative term, such as "anti-choice".
We, the undersigned, demand that the term "pro-life" be banned from official use and must be replaced with a more representative and less misleading term.
Existing organisations that use the term in their name have to change their organisations name and stop the use of the term "pro-life" in their campaigns.
The Outlaw the term "pro-life" and change it to "anti-choice" petition to the Irish government was written by Julian Friesel and is in the category Human Rights at GoPetition.
