The opponents of abortion are "pro-life", but to call pro-abortion movement as "pro-choice" is not true and misleading because abortion is a murder, the womans have the right to know that in reality the supporters of abortions are "anti-life",but not fine, nice, fluffy-bunny and politically correct "pro-choice". Do you agree with, please vote.
 
Because I'm sure all women seeking abortions go into the doctor's office skipping, planning a celebratory party for afterwards.

Faulty premise: Assuming it is a solid fact [and not an opinion] that abortion is a murder. What do you call, using that reasoning, forcing a mother to give birth in a case where it kills her?

the womans have the right to know that in reality the supporters of abortions are "anti-life",but not fine, nice, fluffy-bunny and politically correct "pro-choice".

Again, opinion =/= fact,. and you'd do well to learn the difference.
 
The correct terminology for both sides should be pro-abortion and anti-abortion.

Adding things like "choice" and "life" is only meant to emotionalize the debate, because I know of a lot of pro-"choicers" that don't like other choices and a lot of pro-"lifers" that support things like the death penalty and defensive killing.

A party after a murder?

A murder must be called a murder, an anti-life movement must be defined as anti-life movement, period!
 
There could be three categories:

Pro-choice: Women has right to decide to terminate pregnancy.

Anti-abortion: Women should not terminate pregnancies, but would not have law changed to eliminate the option.

Anti-choice: Women by law should not get abortions, except mothers life at risk.

Maybe you are right, I am agree with you, the definition pro-abortion is more true as pro-choice.

Bout sums it up for me Harry :)

So in the previous example of "forcing a mother to give birth in a case where it kills her?" If the mother dies, is the baby a murderer. Should we put the baby in jail for murdering her own mother? I wont even go into the difference between a fetus becomes a baby and my opinion on when one becomes the other, but I don't think the government should decide what a woman can do to her own body.

I have no problem with this, but pro-choicers do.

Me personally, I'm a "I don't give a **** about abortion, there are bigger things to worry about."

But the label is meant to emotionalize and sell the position, so I could see what the more accurate labeling is a problem for them.

I do not think any logical minded pro- choice individual would be against that. It does seem to be more accurate. I don't think the media would like it though.

I disagree completely, I consider myself pro-life personally, and pro-choice with regards to the legal aspect of it. Morally I don't agree with abortion, but I don't think it should be illegal either.

Ok, seriously? You see some sort of valid analogy here? Charging a new born for murder is the same to you as an intentional act of an adult. Wow.

That's fine, but there is nothing wrong with being pro-abortion, my position could be defined as such and frankly I don't care.

Edit: Actually, the pro abortion position is, in favor of legal access to abortion services.
So it would still fit.

Honestly, this position makes the least sense to me.

Pro-abortion insinuates that you favor abortion as an act, that you think it's a good thing. I don't agree with that, but I don't think the government should make the procedure illegal.

Then to be more specific, you are pro-legal access to abortion services.
Pro-abortion is easier in my opinion.

Only if pro-life is renamed anti-choice.

This is flat out wrong. The best terms I can come up with are Pro-abortion rights and Anti-abortion rights. You can be fore an act to be legal without being in favor of people doing that act.

Neither is making a moral claim, both of mine are generic claims on if you want legal access.

Except it's not murder, but I suspect that you do not know the definition of murder, anyhow.

Pro-abortion is easier in my opinion.

Yeah, I'll agree with that, I just don't think pro-abortion is specific enough, since it implies you are for the act, instead of it just being legal.
