- Actually, pro-choice and pro-abortion are different. Many of the people
- I would call pro-abortion feel that abortion is acceptable as a method of
- birth control; that is, it carries no negative emotional or ethical
- impact. Most of the pro-choice people I know (including myself) feel
- that that the question of whether abortion is right or wrong must be
- answered by the woman in question. I feel that it abortion is a very
- drastic move and must not be undertaken without careful consideration,
- but if a woman feels compeled to terminate her pregnancy in this way,
- then she must have the right to do so.
