Many Pro-life supporters feel that abortionists are against life. Honestly you could frame pro-choice in any context:

rape- Sure, im pro-choice, the choice to have sex with who I want, when I want.

arson- Sure im pro-choice, the choice to set fire to what I want.

burglary- Sure im pro-choice, the choice to have what I want when I want it.

I've always thought that framing the abortion issue as one of "choice" to be whitewashing the issue. People who are pro-life arent by default wanting to dominate all women's lives (although I can admit that some probably would like to). If you don't mind what you're doing, why not say pro-abortion? It seems to me that people who say "pro-choice" think that abortion IS wrong, and so need to frame the discussion in another way, because as was said who is really against life?
