I have been watching this thread with great interest. I'm posting anonymously because I don't want you to snap my head off, as you seem to when text on a screen fails to agree with your agenda exactly.

"Pro-choice" means supporting women making choices about their own bodies, whatever those may be - having the child, aborting, adoption, whatever. You seem to think that a woman who is in support of women making these choices (and therefore "pro-choice") but who would not choose an abortion for herself is somehow your moral enemy, somehow not "pro-choice" enough. For someone who's pro-choice, as you claim, you seem to get quite prickly when someone's choices are different from yours (being supportive of women choosing for themselves but not wanting abortion for themselves). I really think you're not seeing the forest for the trees. You're perceiving enemies in your own pro-choice camp on the basis of semantics and getting mighty aggressive and holier-than-thou about it, instead of identifying who the true enemies of women's right to choose really are.
