| | "[[Pro-abortion]]" or "pro-murder" are the most accurate terms for advocates of [[tax]]payer-funded abortion and other advantages for the abortion industry. Many state [[government]]s even pay for abortions using taxpayer dollars, usually due to a court order rather than the will of the people. [[Pro-aborts]] prefer the term "[[pro-choice]]", which (regardless of the term used) means they believe the mother of a child should have the legal "right" to murder the unborn human being for any reason (they use the term "anti-choice" to refer to pro-lifers). Due to peaceful pro-life efforts, nearly 1,500 abortion mills closed between 1991 and 2019.<ref>[https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/what-closure-of-almost-1500-us-abortion-mills-since-1991-says-about-pro-life-efforts What closure of almost 1,500 US abortion mills since 1991 says about pro-life efforts].

| | In [[America]]n politics, the [[Republican Party|Republican]] and [[Constitution Party|Constitution]] Parties are strongly opposed to abortion on a moral basis and believe it should be illegal. The [[Democrat Party]] supports abortion and opposes legal restrictions. Leaders in the Democrat Party, such as its presidential candidates, also support taxpayer-funded abortion. Officially the [[Libertarian Party]] supports the right to abortion but opposes taxpayer funding for it (consistent with their views on small, limited government and non-interference in personal issues), though a significant segment of Libertarians oppose abortion because one of the (few) legitimate functions of government is the protection of citizens, and would consider the unborn in that category. Vanishingly few Democrat politicians, such as the [[Blue Dog]] [[Democrat]]s, hold pro-life views, while a few Republicans such as [[Rudy Giuliani]] hold pro-abortion views. There are also some [[Leftist]]s who are pro-life like ''[[Washington Post]]'' editor Elizabeth Bruenig, to the ire of [[liberal]]s.<ref>https://www.leftvoice.org/The-Socialist-Position-On-Reproductive-Rights-Why-Is-This-Even-a-Question </ref> | | In [[America]]n politics, the [[Republican Party|Republican]] and [[Constitution Party|Constitution]] Parties are strongly opposed to abortion on a moral basis and believe it should be illegal.
