That's irrelevant to the point that incogn is making, though, which is that you can't make that inference from the fact that a label called "pro-life" exists because it's rhetoric. I'm willing to believe that the label "evidence-based medicine" is also rhetoric, but I don't actually know that yet; I would first have to know what doctors were doing before EBM became a thing.
And how good the followers of EBM are at actually being evidence based as opposed Straw Vulcan.
