Sometimes it's not about politics.

My boyfriend once announced that his official view on abortion was “anti-choice.”

He often likes to test his boundaries, so I ignored him – until about five minutes later when his words fully sunk in.

“You’re WHAT?” I asked.

“You heard me," he shrugged. "Anti-choice.”

“Be quiet,” I said. “You’re being disrespectful.”

To whom, I’m not really sure – but I know someone besides me would be annoyed.

“I’m not really,” he explained. “I just like getting your reaction.”

I can only hope that’s what the American Life League was going for when they issued a news release with the headline, “ALL: Throw Babies in the Dumpster, Get a Slap on the Wrist???”

I really don’t care where people fall in the debate - be anti-choice if you want.

But I think everyone should be firmly pro-sense and anti-triple question mark when it comes to news release headlines.
