From Steve Hiscocks

You have fallen into the trap set by campaigning groups that incorporate
their propaganda in their name, by referring to “pro-life groups”
(1 December, p 3).
The implication is that those not supporting their views are in some way
“against life”.
These titles are intellectually dishonest and should not be
encouraged—although I can see the difficulty of reporting their views
without promoting them. You could perhaps refer to them as anti-cloning groups.
But, for a start, you might put loaded titles in heavy quote marks.
Some of those who support cloning are actually in favour of life and hope to
make it a bit better.
