Anti-Choice

Les agradezco su ayuda.

Pro en favor, Anti - en contra?

BTW, Eddy, it's usually "a favor de," not "en favor de." I sometimes make the same mistake, because of the similarity to English "in favor of."

Once again, guilty of not doing my own research. The poster said "El diccionario me dijo que pro-choice es en favor del derecho". I assumed she had loked it up, however, on checking I can see it is "a favor" but "en contra". Really must stop being so lazy.

Answer 6

Thank you everyone for your responses. I think I can translate the sentence now and as you mentioned, keeping the negative context in mind.

Answer 7

Would "en contra del derecho a decidir" have the type of nuance I described'

If you look up "Pro-Life," you get "pro vida, antiabortista."

These words are, of course, all "loaded" in the context of the U.S. debate over abortion rights. "Pro-Life" is a positive term, and "anti-abortion" would be more neutral or possibly negative. I've never heard "Anti-Choice" before as the opposite of "Pro-Choice." Whoever wrote the sentence was deliberately "slanting" it in a definite political direction.

Because all of this depends on U.S. context, I'm not sure how easily you're going to be able to translate the nuances.

Answer 10

Mirna, the wording here is very political. Usually, the two sides of this issue are called pro-life and pro-choice. Each side chose to use "pro-" because of its positive connotations. The wording here was clearly written by a pro-choice person, who deliberately used the negative-sounding "anti-" to paint a darker portrait of the Governor.

I can't tell you how to say that, but your translation will preferably have the same negative connotation, and sound slightly unusual.

Answer 11

Pro en favor, Anti - en contra'
