I am very pro-choice, but that also means if someone wants to be pro-live, that's cool--that's choice.
My father died after a very, very horrible fire--he had third degree burns across eight percent of his body. I can only be graitful I had the choice to say take him off life support--he died twenty minutes later, very peacefully, and a nurse came up after to me and said she'd have done the same thing for her dad. I can't even begin to think about the pain he would have suffered if I'd allowed any and all measures to keep him alive.
And I've had friends who've opted for abortion--wisely, I believe. To bring a child into this world and not have that child wanted--that's my idea of sin. (And, yes, would be grand if all children were wanted, but that's not people).
So--to me pro-choice means keeping that choice in there. For everything.
