I'm not pro-abortion. I'm pro-choice. For those who think ending a pregnancy is a crime, I hope life treats them well enough that it never becomes an issue. Any woman who'd never make that choice under any circumstance has my total support and respect. But it is not the government's right to assume control of any woman's reproduction rights. That is a private matter between her, her conscience, her own core beliefs and the people she wants to confide in.
Here's what I wish most of all: I wish there was as much passionate concern, the same raging commitment for unwanted children already here as there seems to be for the ones who might be.

“I’m not pro-abortion. I’m pro-choice.”
Just another liberal playing semantics with words. Remember Liberals think children are “burdens”
It's not the math skills that they're lacking - it's the humility to even imagine that they might NOT be the winner.
Could be both ;-).
Thousands of couples desiring children to raise as their own and who cannot have children and this dumb bitch uses this excuse to justify murder in the womb?

Wife and I have and did: We adopted two boys at birth and were on our way to a third when my wife got pregnant the first time. After eight more pregnancies (two were miscarriages), we wound up with 8 boys and 1 girl in our family.
So don’t talk to me about “unwanted children” - there is no such thing, only unworthy parents.

Do ANY of them realize just how asinine that statement is?
If there's nothing wrong with abortion, why not be pro-abortion? And if there is something wrong with abortion, how can a person be in favor of allowing others to "choose" it? It's one or the other.
The retread argument that it’s her body. Except it’s not - only half the DNA is hers. Obviously her body didn’t produce something with alien DNA without outside influence.
These things don’t happen spontaneously either. How about exercising a little self control? If you ain’t getting it, he ain’t getting it either.
That would be (figurative) karma, but more likely she’d be celebrated as yet another pioneer and have so many lefties wanting to see her she would not have time for them all.
She paints the choice as being as devoid of important consequences as though one chose between blueberry pie or cherry pie.
Correct, it which case a person would be PRO-PIE.
If there is NOTHING WRONG with something, you would be pro whatever, not just in favor of choice.
But it is a function of government to prosecute those who deprive others of their basic right to life.
And, while I am at it, the government does not seek to control "women's reproductive rights". Even if we can get anti-abortion legislation passed and signed into law, no one will be inhibiting her right to choose whether she uses her reproductive organs.
She just won't get to play tin-god and decide who lives and dies based on convenience.
Notice how all “pro-choicers” always talk about it’s not government’s role to interfere with women’s reproductive rights, but they are never pissed when government actively takes a side and funds abortions with taxpayer money? Like that isn’t promoting one side over the other? And then they bitch if government takes away funding for abortions?
If you don’t want government involved, why complain when government stops funding one side? What if all the money government spends for abortions shifted into adoption agencies? Would we see no complaints from “pro-choicers”?
Riiiiight.
Ugh, it grates me when people say “I’m not pro-abortion. I’m pro-choice.” You want abortion to exist ergo you’re pro-abortion! It isn’t that difficult to understand.
