A philosophical shift has taken place in the abortion rights movement. After confronting either a pro-life president or a pro-life majority in Congress for 26 of the last 28 years, abortion advocates have now secured sympathetic majorities in all three branches of government.
And change in government has brought change to a movement that's moved beyond working to secure a woman's right to choose abortion. Its new goal is much more audacious - to coerce others into violating their consciences and participating in the murder of innocent human life. It's a shift from merely being "pro-choice" to being "pro-abortion."
This fundamental shift is personified most vividly in President Barack Obama. And it is exemplified most strikingly in his ambition to enact policies that would force millions of pro-life Americans to pay for and perform abortions.

Repealing the Mexico City policy means forcing U.S. citizens to be accomplices in aborting babies around the world.
Funding the UNFPA means requiring us to contribute to agencies which promote the legalization of abortion in countries which had chosen to legislatively restrict it, and at the same time to subsidize abortion even in countries where it is imposed by force upon unwilling women.
Rescinding the medical conscience clause means bringing coercive pressure upon healthcare providers, both individual and institutional, to violate their own ethical code by cooperating with abortion.
In sum, it's all about coercion on every level: against citizens, against taxpayers, against nations, against churches, against pregnant women, against medical students, doctor and nurses, and against hospitals and other providers. Crushing all dissenters, arm-twisting all resisters, at all times, every step of the way, in pursuit of the most desired end product, the altissimum bonum: dead babies.
I don't think I can call it pro-choice.
