Sharon - "The ideological fight is a struggle to capture language." We see this battle in the abortion debate. The media seems to favor those with "pro-choice" beliefs. How I wish we could even the debate by having news announcers use "pro-life" instead of anti-abortion. This would be a sign that at least pro-life groups are being seen as reasonable, positive people. Yet, this group doesn't seem to be successful in capturing positive language. The media does give an ideological spin to the abortion demand by its very use of language and its connotations.
