Talk:Tim Kennedy (politician)

Abortion terminology
I have no problem using "pro-life" or "pro-choice" if it's in quotation marks (which we can easily do here). However, we should not use it in Wikipedia's own voice, because these terms are euphemisms/political terms that are not used by the majority of cited sources. (In fact, it is these terms that are "politically correct" - they serve to obscure rather than enlighten).

The Washington Post, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN, NBC, CBS don't use either of those terms (see here). Nor does NPR (see here). Nor does the Wall Street Journal, which says: "The stylebook also advises that abortion rights is the preferred term, instead of the edgy pro-life and pro-choice, which should be used only in quotations. But antiabortion (as in antiabortion advocate and antiabortion campaigner) is considered a neutral term in the stylebook" (link). Neutralitytalk 21:42, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
