CBS’ “Face the Nation” published a very interestingly-phrased tweet about someone who opposes abortion. Instead of calling Nebraska state Sen. and Omaha mayoral candidate Heath Mello pro life, the @FaceTheNation account went with “anti-choice.”
.@BernieSanders on support for anti-choice mayoral candidate, Heath Mello, in Omaha is not apologizing — says the choice is clear.

This sleight of vocabulary did not go unnoticed.
"Anti-choice"? https://t.co/BHKALBUauI

You have to be an absolute MORON to not see the purposeful lie here. Pro life is the term you dishonest asshats! https://t.co/WAgX62PAQx

The real question is if that will be reversed when it comes to candidates who support abortion.
"Anti-choice"? Will CBS start referring to "anti-life" politicians as well? https://t.co/bodiSEMroZ

And we all know the answer to that.
