That's just a bunch of garbage. People who believe a woman has a right to choose what happens to her body are not, by default, "Pro-Abortion" -- in fact, many aren't in favor of abortion at all. Pro-Choice and Pro-Abortion are not synonyms.
But the opposite of Pro-Choice is not Pro-Life, as the implication is that Pro-Choice advocates are somehow Anti-Life, which is utterly absurd. None of us are Anti-Life any more than we're Pro-Abortion.
I'd have more respect for your side if you'd quit trying to characterize all of us as murderers who are "pro/for killing babies." When you demonize your opponents from the start, there can never be a reasonable discussion.
Excellent post. Thanks for interjecting some rational thought into this discussion.
By the very term pro choice means you are in favor of using abortion. If you are in favor of abortion you are by definition pro abortion. So rather than hid behind the comfortable term pro choice us what it means pro abortion
Pro choice= in favor of using abortion as a means of birth control, of terminating a life. Couldn't be any more straight forward than that.
And "Pro life" sounds so much better than Anti-Choice/Forced Female Servitude!.
Wow. Forced female servitude now that's a new one on me from the left! lol!
Who is forcing women to have sex???? Last time I checked it was a choice. Do these women your speaking of not know that sexual intercourse may result in pregnancy or do they not use birth control??
Oh, that's right they use abortion as brith control. Very irresponsible, as well as archaic!
Yes! I am proud to say that I am TOTALLY Anti-abortion! There!
I admit it fully! lol.
Can you say the same????
No, though I'd stack up my 'pro-life' credentials against yours any day. I've been a public health nurse. I've seen a lot. (Just when I think I've seen it all, I see something else.) I know that sadly, sometimes abortion is the best option. I go for safe, legal and rare.

Well said. These preceding statements just reinforce the fact that most anti-choice supporters fail to understand exactly what "Pro-choice" means. Pro-choice means the woman makes the decision, whether the decision is keeping the baby, putting the baby up for adoption, or abortion. Many pro-choice supporters would not have an abortion themselves, but understand the need to keep it safe and legal for others.

Even birth control used properly can fail.
And not every female who ends up pregnant had a choice about "having sex". Some were forcibly raped by strangers and some were raped by a family member. Some are even too young to know and understand the use of birth control or even how pregnancy occurs.
But sure, keep characterizing females as irresponsible sluts. It makes your argument so much better.

Yeah right! That's the problem. "We" don't understand what Pro Choice means! lol! If it makes you feel better.
The real problem is that alot of the preceding posters fail to understand that pro choice= pro using abortion to terminate life. Being OK with murdering the unborn.
