Pro and Anti Movement

Definition(s) (p. 11)
-Pro Movement: a social movement that attempts to get the public to accept a certain, usually newer idea or institution
-Anti Movement: a social movement that attempts to get the public to reject an existing idea or institution

Example: The movement where one believes a woman should have total control over her reproductive health decisions, including the decision to abort an unborn child, is called pro-choice. It is the goal of this movement to get the public to accept the idea of an abortion being a simple health concern and not, as their adversaries say, the criminal act of murder.
