- I don't want to see people drown, but I don't want them to
- hurt other people in their attempts to save themselves from
- drowning. Likewise, I don't want women to have to face
- unwanted pregnancies, but I don't believe abortion is a
- legitimate solution to an unwanted pregnancy.

- not by what they want others to call them.

- to an unwanted pregnancy, then in my opinion, the label
- "pro-abortion" suits you much better than "pro-choice".
