Why “Baby Killer” is Both Inaccurate and Goes Too Far

While the label of anti-choice is also worth discussing in a future blog post, I’m going to talk about how people who are pro-choice are called baby killers. While I do think that abortion ends lives, I obviously think that it is wrong to use the label of baby killer. For one, if you aren’t either the person getting an abortion or performing an abortion, you aren’t actually killing babies. It also seems very close minded and dismissive because it doesn’t matter all of the good that someone can do outside of the abortion issue or as terrible as a pro-lifer might be. All they are going to be seen as are baby killers in the mind of others. Are all of the pro-gun nuts killers just because they don’t want common sense gun laws? If we want to be more open towards the other side, then we can’t just call them baby killers and be done with them.
