There is a pro-choice group, for example.

I actually don't know the difference between an ovary and an egg and a zygote and an embryo
Are you serious? If so, here's a brief overview.
An ovary is the organ in females where eggs develop. Eggs contain half the chromosomes necessary to become a (pick an animal), when fertilized by a sperm, provided by the male. A fertilized egg is a zygote, in scientific language. Zygotes are also part of plant development, but since you are talking about humans, I'll stick to that. An embryo is the developing human individual from the time of implantation to the end of the eighth week after fertilization.
Human woman has ovaries that contain eggs, typically one matures every month. If the mature egg is fertilized by a sperm, it is called a zygote and starts dividing. If it implants, attaches, to the woman's uterus, it is then called an embryo for until 8 weeks after it was fertilized.
Chickens have ovaries, and they lay eggs which we eat.
I also have some problems with the pro-choice side of this issue. I don't believe what they say, that abortion opponents want to "control women's lives," is the whole story. That probably is part of it, but nobody ever mentions the fact that when a woman gets knocked up and doesn't want to be, it's a problem for the man too.
First off, stop using the term "knocked up" and you will be taken more seriously. Secondly, you have a problem that pro-choicers say anti-choicers want to "control women's lives" because having a child affects men as well? You seem to be saying that anti-choicers also want to control men's lives, is this right? How is this in any way a problem with supporting choice?
the REAL reason the pro-lifers have such a big problem with abortion is that they are just simply trying to keep people from having sex. This seems as obvious to me as the nose in front of my face, and yet nobody on either side of the abortion issue ever mentions it. It's the elephant in the room that everybody ignores. WHY?
I don't think you've read much pro-choice materials or writings because this is often talked about. Anti-choicers want to control women's lives. They want to keep them from having sex. They package it up in being oh so concerned about "unborn children" but it's obvious to most of us, not any elephant in the room at all.
