why do pro-choice people think calling pro-life people anti-choice is a really bad thing?

I mean you guys use it as if its something bad. ooooh nooo I'm anti-choice thats sooo bad the worse thing you can call me is anti-choice becuase I'm against the choice for women who should have kept their legs closed (excluding rape victims) the choice to take a life and kill their baby when they need to take responsibility for their actions. I would rather be anti-choice any day then pro-baby killer or ant-life. I mean you guys user it as an insult or something oh wow I'm against the choice for you to kill your baby learn how to keep your legs closed or get your tubes tied, but I am pro-choice....I'm for the choice of you keeping your legs closed and the choice that the baby gets to live and not die becuase of your selfish ways

    Pro-choice people don't want to admit part of that choice results in the death of a human life.

    It would be like if someone kills someone in another neighborhood that is OK because they are not involved.

    BTW: The majority of Americans are Pro-choice however the majority don't believe there should be absolutely no regulation or limits on the types and when an abortion can occur.

    When you see the media call Pro-lifers as anti-choice or anti-women's rights it shows the bias in that reporters story.

    What to see Pro-choice go nuts just tell them you are Pro-choice and please choose life.

  • It's on the same level as calling pro-choice people pro-abortion. These titles fog the true meaning behind why a person believes what they believe.

    Are you Pro-Abortion or Pro-Life?

    The libs flip out if you call them Pro-Abortion instead of Pro-Choice. Just the same Cons don't like to be called Anti-Abortion, or Anti-Choice for the same reasons. The news media has gotten better but used to always refer to people on the Pro-Life side as being Anti-Abortion while referring to the Pro-Abortion people Pro-Choice.

    Sometimes they have to terminate it because of sicknesses that would kill the baby anyways, slower than an abortion would. Do pro-life help women who were denied abortions? From what I've seen, they only care about the baby when it's in danger of being killed.

    I think it's in response to calling pro-choice, pro-abortion.

    And whoever is feeding you the bs about how women get abortions like they're buying milk at the deli is wrong.

    When a woman considers an abortion, it's a very difficult decision for her to make, plus it is a procedure that one remembers for the rest of their lives. This is something you should know already.

    You keeping the baby is a choice. My wife and I are pro choice. She would never have an abortion.

    It is certainly not the Government's choice what one can do with their bodies. It isn't your choice either. You wouldn't want me telling you what to do with yours would you?

    No. professional-life prefer to make abortion unlawful. they like to make it not purely impossible to get abortion, yet to make it a criminal offense. they like to do away with the call of abortion from being pregnant. As abortion is the only decision to polishing off being pregnant, they're removing decision. for this reason they're anti-decision. they're professional-compelled being pregnant and compelled delivery. it is not important that they think of the fetus is a separate entity. they like to grant option to a minimum of something which could not think of or react, and for this reason can not choose for. They with to enforce their very own decision on others. this is anti-decision. this is fascism.

    It is simply a semantic word play tool. Pro-life sounds better than anti-choice. Pro-life means you support life while anti-choice paints you as being repressive.

    For the same reason pro-lifers call pro-choice people "pro-abortion". It's all for show.

    Most abortions (77%+) occur before 10 weeks - when there is no heart beat. That, in my book, doesn't qualify for murder.

    You are stupid to think that all abortions are because so irresponsible whore is gleefully aborting her beautiful, perfect, cooing baby. There are lots of valid medical situations where abortion is the best option.

    Actually it was Pro Lifers who originally objected to the term back in the 1980's, because they felt it was negative spin.

    Most pro-choicers do not realize that an entire generation has now grown up with the ability to take the terms, history and philosophy as generated via talking point by the Heritage Foundation and accept them as gospel.

    Good question, they don't seem to understand that choice is a two sided word. To have one or not. So if you are for choice you should support either cause equally.

    I am, however, a supporter of pro-life.
