Reply #7: the use of the term itself does make me suspicious

If someone wants to state a personal position on abortion, it would ordinarily be "anti-abortion" for those who oppose, and no label at all for those who are pro-choice, since they have no position pro or con on abortion.

It is possible to be anti-abortion and pro-choice, i.e. in favour of there being no criminal prohibition on abortion.

I'm anti-adultery but "pro-choice": do what you like, I have no desire to interfere even if I consider your behaviour immoral.

I don't think it is possible to describe one's self as "pro-life" and be pro-choice. Participating in the discourse of the efforts to deny women the exercise of fundamental rights isn't consistent with advocating that women have freedom to choose.

I don't care what anyone's personal beliefs about or position on abortion is, as long as they aren't trying to interfere in women's exercise of rights.

I just find it kind of hard to see someone describe themself as "pro-life" and not see someone giving aid and comfort to those who are trying to interfere in women's exercise of rights.
