being pro-choice is not the same as being pro-abortion.

True if you are speaking about the laws concerning abortion on the one hand and of one's own personal opinion concerning the act of abortion on the other.

There is a problem however, If you try to enumerate personal moral reasons for opposing abortion, and at the same time try to leave the door open for other people to have a so-called choice. You may in effect be saying that you believe in an objective moral code for yourself while also trying to say that there is no such thing as an objective moral code.

Not necesarily. You can be pro-choice and still consistently believe abortion is wrong if you also believe that God is the only one entitled to punish or prevent a decision to abort because He has not given man the tools to prove that abortion is wrong.
