"Pro-Choice" is a term I reserve for people who believe that women in pregnancy have the right to choose abortion, adoption, or parenting (or other applicable options), regardless of which choice they personally feel is the correct choice.
"Pro-Abortion" would refer to people who support unrestricted rights to abortion at any stage for any reason AND/OR to those who encourage a woman in an unplanned pregnancy to abort.
"Anti-Life" is not a term I would use.
"Pro-Life" to me implies someone who upholds the rights of all humans to life. This would mean that a person opposes abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty.
"Anti-Abortion" would be someone who is opposed to abortion, while this term may not imply that a person wants to see all access to abortion completely removed.
"Anti-Choice" would be a person who wants all access to abortion removed from the equation, so a woman has no choice but to give birth.
I personally consider myself "Anti-Abortion" but "Pro-Choice." Which is to say that I do not think abortion-on-demand is a good thing, and will never recommend it to a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy. However, I cannot support laws that would constitute a wholesale ban on abortion either. Honestly, I think the government should butt the hell out and leave the decision making process to a woman and her doctor(s).
