I don’t want to call myself pro-life. Not only has this label been abused by psychopaths who shoot people, it is a backhanded, insulting and divisive. No one is pro-death or anti-life. To call oneself pro-life is haughty and judgmental.
I don’t want to be called anti-abortion. That name glorifies abortion and makes it sound like anyone who doesn’t agree with it is on the wrong side of an issue that everyone should support.
I believe life begins at conception. This is a valid argument and worldview in and of itself that defies the self-righteous labels both sides have given themselves and others. Maybe we should call ourselves conceptionists.
