"anti-choice when talking about people who are unambiguously pro-life"

I'm not so sure that it is unambiguously pro-life. I know that not all those who oppose access to abortion are the same but there are enough (particularly from religious fundy backgrounds) who are pro-military action and pro-death penalty to make the concept of pro-life as a description somewhat less than unambiguous.

At the extreme's it's spin from both sides.

The term pro-abortion is probably even more misleading. Many of those who accept a woman's right to choice on the matter don't like abortion, most would rather see less abortions but the term pro-abortion is still used by some.

I don't like abortion, I'd not ever want to be in the position of needing to make such a choice.

Yes indeed Robert, I too hate the term pro-abortion.

I doubt I would ever have an abortion, but I would never force a woman to carry on with a pregnancy if she really doesn't want to.

Sure, some women might regret having had abortions, and some women who have had abortions couldn't care less.

The main point in this debate is that it is LEGAL in Australia for women to have abortions, so the pro-life people can rant and rave about the depravity of it all, and the false protestations of caring about how women 'feel' post abortions, but their cause is already lost.

Pro-choice, where abortions are concerned, is here to stay.
As it should be in any modern society.

Well Runner, abortions have been happening in all countries since the beginning of records at least, so the whole world is 'barbaric'.

Then again, it is only a choice.
If you or yours don't want to be involved in abortion, then don't.
Just leave others to their own legal choices, and butt out.

Really suzonline - you just cannot tell those who seek to support the right to life of a human being at its most vulnerable and defenceless that they should butt out.

Abortion is a social or societal concern. Those who seek to end the scourge of abortion are properly concerned with the impact that this violent action has on all members of the community.

Maybe there is a little of the anti-smoking campaign here: smoking is legal/lawful yet there is a massive campaign to reduce the numbers smoking precisely because smoking harms people.

Abortion fatally harms people. And abortion frequently sends the mothers who have them into psychiatric care for depression, alcoholism and abuse of tranquillizers.

Every person who supports abortion - including those rare cases where conception has occurred after rape - supports the killing (termination) of an innocent human.

I laugh at those who say they are pro-life because they are against the death penalty. Better to be pro-life against the death penalty AND against abortion.
