Talk:Peter Knight (murderer)

Quality of referencing
Referencing needs a bit of work. For example, out of the four citations, the only one giving the contents of his handwritten note is a web site that endorses the killing of abortion-related workers (not quite my idea of a reliable source). Andjam 23:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

One person's activist...
I was mildly surprised to see the word "activist" used. However, googling indicates that main stream media has used the word itself, eg Parole appeal rejected for anti-abortion activist. Andjam 23:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it a bit naff to describe this guy as an "activist". Murderer would be more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.113.164 (talk) 01:33, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Category:Anti-abortion violence
IP editor; can you please provide a more detailed explanation of why you are removing the category "Anti-abortion violence". Peter James Knight was an anti-abortion activist who committed a violent murder. How is this category not appropriate? I don't understand what you are trying to say regarding terrorism implication in your edit summary. I don't see how whether this was an act terrorism or not has any relevance to whether or not it is considered anti-abortion violence. Freikorp (talk) 03:46, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Anti-abortion and Abortion-rights vs Pro-life and Pro-choice
The AP recommends using the terms 'anti-abortion' and 'abortion rights' to describe sides of the Abortion debate without using political framing techniques. There is some contention with these terms, with anti-abortion side of the debate not wanting to be labelled as 'anti'. See United States pro-life movement

Currently there are 4 articles:
 * Anti-abortion movements
 * United States pro-life movement
 * Abortion-rights movements
 * United States pro-choice movement

It seems that for articles referring to the United States, the 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' terms are preferred, while international discussion more commonly uses the terms 'anti-abortion' and 'abortion rights'.

I've changed a link from pro-life to Anti-abortion movements as I think this reflects the AP terminology, which I think is correct for an article about Australia. If this is opposed, please discuss this on the talk page, don't just get into an edit war. -- Aronzak (talk) 08:02, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Both "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are weaselly bunny-hugging terms designed to be difficult to disagree with. "Abortion rights" is a little weaselly, because I figure if it's good enough to describe one side as anti-, then it should be good enough to describe the other simply as pro-. Naming one side as a "-rights" movement immediately positions your opponents as oppressors. But it is an improvement, and if that's the current state of play on Wiki then I guess it will stay that way. Abortion as a topic is generally a hornets nest I don't have the stomach for rocking.-- Aronzak (talk) 13:55, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
