The headline says it all. "anti-abortion protesters". They are pro-life protesters. They do not call the pro-choice protesters "anti life protesters" do they? No is the answer to that question. This is one of a thousand reasons the media is so disliked and I am sure it never occurred to them the language they use is important.
If the pro-abortion crowd can self identify as pro-choice (which is not even what they are) then the those against abortion should be able to identify as pro-life.

How many times do we see posts about deliberately misleading headlines or story lines. Many in the media know headlines are powerful and will impact many readers. Headlines are one of the most thought out parts of stories, don't kid yourself about their importance.

Cpl Jeff N. - Hence the "for me" portion of my comment. I normally look past the headline for content, though you are correct. Some never get past that part

SGT (Join to see) - If you talk to media writers and see how they craft a headline and the thought put into it you will understand how it is used to influence or manipulate the reader of it. Most people do not get past the headline and they know it. That is the reason the headline/storyline is crafted the way it is.
