"On the other hand, the "pro-life" label anti-abortion zealots use is false advertising (unless the "pro-lifers" are in favor of women having as many babies as possible even if that means they have to be raped and held in bondage throughout their fertile years)."

Thats absurd, 'pro-life' means that you are 'anti-death'.
If you argue anyway on this point, say you bet we are for the death penalty, which if anyone who is truly pro-life would be against. I am truely pro-life, but believe in a capital punishment of LIFE in prison. (Note: the dems are traditionally pro-choice, where as the they are also anti-death penalty.)

Now 'pro-choice'is the oposite of 'anti-choice'.
Valid point on your view. Now in the same vain, wouldn't it be ok then for me to CHOOSE to kill someone who cuts me off in traffic, because it makes my life inconvenient?

It is understood today that anyone who feels that abortion is wrong, is labels themselves as 'PRO-LIFE', conversely, anyone who feels abortion as being OK, labels themselves as 'PRO-CHOICE'. There counterpoints would say they are 'ANTI-ABORTION' and 'PRO-ABORTION' respectively.

I'm assuming that you label your self as 'pro-choice'.
Do you feel that ALL things should be left to the individual to choose? Or more correctly, just abortion?

Its all a matter of semantics.

It should probably be named "pro-innocent-life" but that's too long. I am pro-life and in favor of the death penalty because I believe that is the best way to protect innocent victims from criminals. No criminal put to death has ever managed to repeat offend. On the other hand, history is full of examples of lifers who have escaped, or gotten paroled, etc and managed to murder/rape/rob again. My first priority is protecting innocent life.
