When I’ve had long conversations about abortion, I have often gone through a process of figuring out any possible creative way to communicate my idea or argument in a way that the other person might actually receive. I have found that forcing someone to argue against their own unfair arguments is the most efficient way to help someone realize that their arguments are actually unfair.

I provide four examples of unfair pro-choice rhetoric, and the ways I turn the tables.

Wording and phrasing significantly influence discussion. Pro-choice advocates constantly describe the intentions of pro-lifers with the language of “forcing” women. I explain why this is dishonest rhetoric, whether it’s intentional or not.

This is the story of a pro-choice redditor who looked into the details of an Indianapolis woman’s conviction for feticide and discovered that many media stories about this case were withholding crucial details. I encourage you to follow this person’s example by fighting against confirmation bias.
