Interesting; while I disagree that the term "Anti-choice" is not a NPOV I was unaware of the standard of using a groups form of self-identity - thank you for the link. [[Special:Contributions/71.234.131.9|71.234.131.9]] ([[User talk:71.234.131.9|talk]]) 21:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC) |

:Thank you for your message and I'm glad the link I provided was helpful. If "anti-choice" were understood strictly as a term which contrasted directly to "pro-choice" (everything that has a "pro-" has an "anti-"), then, yes, I suppose it would be neutral, but the fact is that the word carries with it the same sort of negative connotations as "anti-life." "Anti-choice" implies "pro-oppression" whereas "anti-life" implies "pro-death." The simplest solution we've found on abortion-related articles is to opt for the terminology which each movement uses to describe itself. -<font color="006400">S</font><font color="696969">e</font><font color="006400">v</font><font color="696969">e</font><font color="006400">r</font><font color="696969">a</font> (<small>[[User talk:Severa|!!!]]</small>) 07:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC) |

Self-Identity
Interesting; while I disagree that the term "Anti-choice" is not a NPOV I was unaware of the standard of using a groups form of self-identity - thank you for the link. 71.234.131.9 (talk) 21:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message and I'm glad the link I provided was helpful. If "anti-choice" were understood strictly as a term which contrasted directly to "pro-choice" (everything that has a "pro-" has an "anti-"), then, yes, I suppose it would be neutral, but the fact is that the word carries with it the same sort of negative connotations as "anti-life."

Abortion page
Hiya Severa. Looks like things are heating up on the Abortion page. Let's talk it out on the discussion page. I'm sure we can all come to an understanding. All of the editing is happening too quickly. Hope to see you on the talk page.--IronAngelAlice (talk) 04:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the cool down warning. I agree that things are getting pretty heated, but I've tried to explain myself clearly on talk at every step along the way, and I guess Photouploaded and I just haven't been able to meet in the middle. It's a busy time of year and I guess I'm a little more distracted from articles than I would be normally (I'm trying to wrap gifts in between editing articles in between taking care of other things!). -Severa (!!!) 04:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
