If Repugs Were Pro-Choice What Term Or Terms Would They Use For The Word Abortion?.....

I don't know what made me think of this today. Probably listening to all the talk about Komen and Planned Parenthood. I then thought that Repugs make up nice words or phrases for certain programs, bills they want passed, etc. that either put a negative connotation on it/them or a positive spin. Like the Affordable Care Act - they call Obamacare - a negative spin. Or for Social Security and Medicare - they call entitlements.

I don't know if this is a Repug made up name but - Clean Coal - puts a positive spin on what we're used to - dirty, air polluting coal.

I then thought - if Repugs were pro-abortion/pro-choice - what positive spin would they put on the word abortion and what would they call it.

It was pointed out to me when I discussed this with a friend that Pro-choice is the positive spun abortion. I can accept that - but was wondering if the Repugs would even come up with something different.

What would it be?

I know people here on DU are creative - I am throwing it out for all you creative DU'ers. If the Repugs were pro-choice or for abortion - what would they call it?

If they WERE conservatives, they would be for getting the hell out of Americans' bedrooms and doctors' offices. But like everything else, they use this word ironically.
