- Nope. A "pro-abortion" person prefers abortion over other options.
- A "pro-choice" person feels that the choice to get an abortion
- or give a resulting baby up for adoption or keep a resulting baby
- is the pregnant woman's choice, and nobody else's.

- "Pro-life" and "anti-abortion" seem to me nearly equivalent in
- current usage, though not in the meanings they seem to have.
- "Pro-life" is the political euphemism for "anti-abortion".
