Subtle Bias In April 2007 at a Republican "Unity Dinner" in Iowa, John McCain stated, “I have a steadfast and strong advocacy and voting record in support of the rights of the unborn.” At the same event, Mike Huckabee stated, “I'm not late in declaring that I believe life begins at conception and that we ought to protect human life.”

Subtle Bias In an article about this event in the New York Times written by Adam Nagourney, it is stated that John McCain and Mike Huckabee “presented themselves as lifelong opponents of abortion rights.” Four times in this article, candidates are characterized as opponents of abortion rights and never as supporters of rights for the unborn.

Associated Press (AP) Stylebook The entry in the AP stylebook on “abortion” reads: “Use anti-abortion instead of pro-life and (use) abortion rights instead of pro-abortion or pro-choice. Avoid abortionist, which connotes a person who performs clandestine abortions.”
