Why not call it, "hey, we can give the death sentence for murderers, but call it what we want when we pay for it"

Pro-choice sounds better than pro murder, or pro baby killing, or pro "I can't control my sexual desires so I'll kill my baby".

It is really very simple. If you do not want an abortion, don't have one. No one should be twisting your arm to do something you don't want to do. If you were raped by a relative as a young child, and your religious beliefs prevent you from obtaining an abortion or even taking a "morning after" pill--then don't. No one says you HAVE to get one.
If your birth control devices failed, and you suffer a medical condition such that a birth will kill you--but you believe God has chosen to take your life (and that of your child) through ill conceived conception--then by all means--don't have an abortion. No one is forcing you against your will.
What I cannot understand is why a few malcontents think that a decision that is good for them is therefore good for everyone else, and that congressmen are smarter than women and their doctors, and know better than we do what we should do in our own particular, individual circumstances, and should therefore legislate our morality.

This term contradicts itself. They call it pro-choice because they wave the "we should all have a right to choose for ourselves" flag. And it's true that no one person should be able to choose for another. So why does the mother get to choose for the baby? Why are we pro-choice for the mother? I'm pro-choice for the baby.

It's called "pro-choice" because it's about a woman's right to choose. To choose to be pregnant, to give birth, to be a mother, to end a pregnancy if she desires.

The spin doctors were hired to come up with this politically correct term to disguise the reality.
My heart goes out to the many young girls and women who experience this procedure and live to regret it. They need our prayers and compassion.
Hopefully the light of truth will shine on this topic, and people will make choices they can truly live with.

Because it sounds better than "Pro-Murder"

"pro-death" vs "anti-choice" would be more accurate. The former want to kill babies, the latter want to enslave women.

Because it's a womans choice with what she can and cannot do to her own body.
