Pro-choice is not necessarily synonomous with pro-abortion.
Conversely...anti-abortion is also not necessarily synonomous with pro-life.
It's all just nice little labels that we like to stick on things so that we can pigeonhole them.
I guess I don't like the idea of confusing the issue with labels designed to put each position in the best light.

If someone says that they are pro-abortion or anti-abortion, you pretty much know where they stand on laws concerning this activity. The opposite of pro-choice is anti-choice and the opposite of pro-life is anti-life. Not many people consider themselves to be anti-choice or anti-life no matter where they stand on the abortion issue.
