Absolutely! I am a Catholic Republican who supports choice but I don't support abortion. I just think that I and my husband know what's best for my family, not the government, some religious group, or strangers. If we decided that it was best for us to have an abortion, I'm not even sure I could go through with it then, but if I did, I shouldn't be denied good health care because of our decision.

If you mean by that, that you would qualify under what circumstances abortion were to be permissable, then yes, it's fair.
What your statement seems to say is that the right to abortion is no absolute in all cases---which sounds fair enough as a platform...arguable but reasonable point of view.

Yes, that would be a fair thing to say. Particularly when so many who support the right to choose also support access to education and contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and thus lower abortion rates proactively, while so many who oppose the right to choose also oppose contraception or education.
Abstinence-only sex ed has been PROVEN to be a failure. So until the "fear of sex" crowd exerts efforts into preventing unwanted pregnancies that fuel the demand for abortions, they really have no credibility on claiming to want to do away with abortions.

Nope,
That would be like saying, supporting murder and the right to murder, are different things.
An easy way to figure out if someone really supports the
" right to choose "
Is to ask them if they support peoples ability to sell thier own body organs.
IE: a poor person, could sell a working kidney, as long as thier remaining kidney functioned properly.
After all, the " right to choose " is based on the notion, that you have the right to control your own body.
So wouldn't being able to sell a body organ, fall under that category ?

No. To support the "right" to have an abortion is in fact supporting abortion itself.

Yes, I think that is fair. Some folks may not approve of abortion, but also do not want to see the government begin to dictate and control our personal affairs.

There is nothing fair about abortion, or abortion debate.
Both sides base their arguments on lies.
The truth is as follows:
1. Life does not begin at conception, conception is the merging of existing life.
2. Life does not begin at birth either.
3. The #1 cause of abortion, is, was, and always will be the stigma on unwed mothers from the conservative right. The very people who claim to be against abortion.

Yes, I think the term "Pro-Choice" makes that distinction.
