It's not "pro-life."
It's ANTI-CHOICE.

That's all.

3. Absolutely
They want the government to make women's choices for them.

It is and always has been about keeping women and their abilities outside baby-maker under the patriarchal thumb.

4. They're forced birth and then, once the birth happens, you're on your own, kid.
According to that latest Gallup poll, 77% of people still believe that Roe should be legal.

5. Thank you. I've been saying this for years.
Pro-choice or Anti-choice- say it over and over and every time you hear someone say "pro-life" - PLEASE correct them. We are ALL PRO-LIFE (otherwise, we'd all be pro-death). Just some of us- most of us- the majority of us are also pro-choice. EOM

6. "Choice" ...
Please -- if you need to use a euphemism to talk about something it is a big red flag that there's something wrong with it. On the other hand, "choice" does reveal a sort of degrading, consumerist attitude toward unborn human life, which is instructive.

That being said, I don't like the term pro-life either because of all of the anti-life baggage that typically accompanies it.
