The self-given label of the ideological group who believe abortion should be legal and readily available; contrasts with "Pro-Life”.
Until the third trimester, an organism developing in the womb is unable to support life independently, in effect no more alive than a person in a coma with a machine operating his or her lungs. Besides which, Pro-Life supporters—if they really had an ounce of compassion in them—wouldn’t hound women who have made the often difficult and always irreversible decision of having an abortion. Granted, there are Pro-Choicers who don’t seem to think women should grieve or otherwise deal with their emotions after an abortion but I am not one of them: I believe the most important thing for a woman who has had an abortion is to learn how to accept and live with the choice. Emotion is natural to human beings and should be safely expelled rather than corked up. And it doesn’t help to show revolting (and often fake) photographs supposedly showing aborted fetuses, let alone all the other psychotic stunts these people perform (blowing up clinics, anyone? Doesn’t seem very “Pro-Life” to me.)

A person who is pro-choice believes that a life of an already-extant, fully-fledged human being takes precedence over that of an embryo or fetus.

Get the Pro-Choice mug.Someone who believes that ALL life is sacred not just the life of an unborn human being. True pro-lifers do not support capital punishment.
John is a true pro-lifer, he believes that all life is sacred and should not be killed for convenience(98% of abortions are for convenience,not medical or rape) or to prove that killing is wrong.

People who do not support the killing of a fetus which has already been conceived. Most people who are pro muder oopps i mean pro choice argue that the the unborn child is apart of the womens body which is not true a body part of the women must share a common strand of dna which is not the case the unborn has a total unique geneatic strand of dna. The most popular argument may be well "what if the women were raped" this makes up less then one percent of abortions and dosent make too much sense to kill unborns because theyre mother was raped but i guess two wrongs do make a right in this case.
JANE:"We got drunk and had unprotected sex a few months ago"

Get the pro choice mug.a social and political opinion that women should have the right to have an abortion which is completely sensible because why should religion or the law keep a woman from doing what she needs to do to her body and it’s her choice to be able to have a baby or not.

Get the pro-choice mug.A person who believes women should not have a right to safely access abortion or have right to their body. They believe abortion is murder and wrong. The pro-life community is toxic, and emotionally manipulative; they spread misleading information.

Get the Pro-life mug.Objectively, the prerogative is to enforce that any consensually or non-consensually pregnant woman is forced to give birth to her child, regardless of extreme physical pain, psychological trauma (rape,) potential death (miscarriage, vaginal bleeding,) their own fully developed humanity, conscience, relatives, children, or the fact that the baby (no matter how valued by others) is of their creation and responsibility.
This indirectly portrays pregnant women as little more than human incubators; Pro-life is considered by some to be an unconscious form of female objectification/anti-feminism.
Some Pro-lifers (some of whom are men and/or otherwise incapable of experiencing the pain of child-birth) seem to believe they have a self-given right to regulate the abilities of pregnant women.
However, it should be noted that despite some Pro-lifers are an embarrassment to others, some are actually polite, intelligent and have substantial respect for the concerns/conditions of pregnant mothers.

Jack: "Just because I'm pro-life doesn't mean I condone violence against women, or the reduction of their rights."
Jamie: "You could be in support of specific women's rights, but that doesn't change the fact you condone the removal of one of two significant choices made available to mothers and rape victims."
Jack: "I can understand your sentiments, but my approach to the removal of abortion would be gradual, sensitive and respectful."
Jamie: "Maintaining such a seemingly justifiable cause would be challenging in light of your blatant opposition to established women's rights."
Jack: "It would be replaced with a system that provided unanimous support and respect for pregnant women."
Jamie: "Well, at least you'd be willing to establish such a system in its place, as opposed to just destroying abortion clinics and bellowing misogynistic profanities."
Jack: "I know you don't agree with my sentiments, but thanks for at least understanding them."
Jamie: "No problem, I suppose not all Pro-lifers are bad."
