I actually managed to convince a friend of mine that he's pro-choice. He personally believes abortion is awful, and because he was thinking of "pro-choice" as a code phrase for "pro-abortion," he assumed that wasn't him.

But the conflict isn't between pro-life and pro-abortion. It's between pro-choice and anti-choice. I respect that you personally have made your choice to judge it immoral, and I respect that you respect my capacity to make that judgment for myself (even with my soft deficient woman-brain =P ).

I'll agree with virginia_fell: I don't know that anyone is really *for* abortion. It's more a pro/anti choice issue. Telling women what they can or can't do with their bodies during pregnancy raises serious privacy issues, and sets a dangerous precedent. Because if you can tell women what to do/not do while they're pregnant, what about the rest of the time? Theoretically, a woman *could* be pregnant anytime betweeb puberty and menopause. Horse-back riding could cause a miscarriage/"natural" abortion if you were pregnant and didn't know it...are we going to criminalize horse-riding for all fertile women not having their period? Force pregnant women to avoid staircases? I realize that sounds extreme, but it is a slippery slope ( ... )
