Phrasing matters. ESPECIALLY in journalism.
I'm listening to the ABC News Daily podcast, it's on Trump's view on abortion. They keep using the term "pro life" despite anti-abortion campaigners making it clear time and time again that they don't care less about the life of the mother or child (won't support pre/post-natal care, don't care if the abortion leads to BOTH mother & child dying), they just don't want abortion. Full stop. Calling them "pro life" is very showing.
