I don't think people who claim to be "pro-life" are anti-choice.
I think they just believe in the right to life.
The opposite of "pro-life" is not "pro-choice". if we we're to believe that we would have to ask what is the opposite of the word "life"?
In my opinion, the opposite to the word "life" is the word "death".
That wouldn't be a very good movement to advocate for, in my opinion.
So I think its called the "pro-choice" movement (in the context of abortion) because that is the most convenient thing to call it.
I'm pro-life, but I'm also pro-choice. You have the right to make any choice you want and I will fight to defend that.
The choices you make however, may have some form of consequences. Risk are taken with any choice.
If you drive a car, you risk crashing and dying.
If you boil chickpeas, you risk over cooking them turning them to mush.
If you have sex, you risk falling pregnant.
If you mix two chemicals you risk an explosion.
Only one of the above scenarios has another option following that, which involves taking away someone else's right to live a potential life of happiness.
Don't mince my words, I will never advocate to take a choice away from you. If you make a choice, I believe responsibility and accountability should be attached to the outcome of that choice. That's all.
Thanks for your time.
