simple language sorry its difficult for you. If you favor the use of abortion you are pro abortion.
Sure, if a woman chose for herself to have an abortion, I guess I'd be pro-abortion in that case. If a woman chose for herself to have the baby, I guess I'd be pro-having-a-baby in that case. If a woman chose for herself to give the baby up for adoption, I guess I'd be pro-adoption in that case.
Not at all. There comes a point in pregnancy when the fetus is developed enough to have human rights - right to life being one of those. At that point, there is another person in the equation.
So, in Your opinion, "There comes a point in pregnancy when the fetus is developed enough to have human rights - right to life being one of those. At that point, there is another person in the equation."
What's that point ? 'Viability' ? is that 20 weeks, 22, 24, case-by-case ? Who are you to tell a woman she's not more important in the equation than a fetus ? She's still the one carrying the fetus to term and deciding what to do. What's magic about a particular 'point' in the pregnancy ?
Face it, choicers can be just as inconsistent as lifers. But bear in mind what RW Emerson said--- 'A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds...'

being pro abortion does not mean your anti adoption or anti birth it just means you Arin pro abortion

Most choicers I know are well versed in the peer-reviewed research on viability and fetal development. Their opinions are supported by medical fact, law, and well-reasoned logic. There is no reason to support an all or nothing stance on the rights or viability of the fetus.
In my experience, most of the radical pro-lifers I have encountered lack scientific knowledge of fetal development, and their stance is supported by either their religious views, or a naive belief that all little unwanted babies have adoring families just waiting to give them idyllic homes.
I know many conservative pro-choicers who don't like the idea of an abortion on demand after the first trimester, but don't feel it is their role to dictate the decision a woman should make for herself. I know many progressive pro-lifers who struggle with the reality that if you support abortion in the case of rape, incest, or maternal health, then you are in reality pro-choice.

Face it, we don't know for absolute certain when that point is. But the courts have held that there is a line drawn when the fetus attains rights. Human rights, not citizenship rights (until it is born). That point has been consistent since the Roe v. Wade decision; I don't see where there's been any vacillation on the part of pro-choice women's advocates. I also don't see a "foolish consistency" in pro-choice majority position, but a sensible consistency.

It's not a guilt trip. I'm so over the "back alley" and "coat hanger" discussions, do you really honestly think that would happen? I am of the opinion that life is life and it should not be killed no matter what, but that is not a part of this discussion.
YES, YES YES, we think this could happen. This DID HAPPEN, over and over and over again. Most often to poor women.....of course. The middle class or richer white girls got their abortions under the table by their own personal physician that were paid cash to get those teenagers free from their unwanted pregnancy before the neighbors saw it. The rest were sent to "homes" and returned after a supposed visit to their aunts house for a few months.
If you are in favor of abortion you are pro abortion.
If it walk like a duck, quacks like a duck has feathers like a duck... its duck
WHATever.........duck, goose or bluebird. I am in favor of my uterus being none of your business. Legally.
