I've come to a conclusion:
Pro-Life is the wrong term for people who claim to be such. Hell, I'm pro-life. I don't like abortion either. But I would never take that choice away from somebody. The Supreme Court decided in 1973 (Roe v. Wade) that a fetus is not a person and has no constitutional rights. And when it comes down to it, that's the only thing that matters when it comes down to it: Religion or religious beliefs have no legal sway in this country. The law is the law. And the Supreme Court is the final interpreter of the law.
My point is: I am pro-choice. I am also pro-life. So the new term that I choose to bestow on those who claim to be "pro-life" is this: Anti-choice. Too long has this myth of "pro-life" and "pro-choice" being separate been perpetuated. I know of no one who is anti-life, but what are the "religious right" trying to imply with their use of the term "pro-life"? It's a fallacy.
All people who are against women's right to choose are now designated "anti-choice"
Have a nice day 😊

Semantically "anti-choice" as illustrated above, is a more accurate terminology to describe people who wish to overturn Roe v. Wade, since the direct opposites of both "anti-abortion" and "pro-life" aren't applicable to the diametric opposition. People who are "pro-choice," are not "anti-life" nor "pro-abortion," they are accurately described as in support of the right to choose.
