[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 17 I would probably try to guide my child to have an abortion, depending on how far along she was.

At 23 I would support whatever choice she wanted, assuming she doesn’t have a problems with substance abuse that would impact the pregnancy.

Same here. I guess that doesn't make me 100% pro-choice since I wouldn't exactly want my 17 year old DD to have a choice other than to have an abortion.[/quote]

And this is the distinction that I believe OP is trying to get people to recognize. There is: anti-abortion (anti-choice type 1), prochoice, and pro-abortion (anti-choice type 2).[/quote]

I don't think this is accurate.

You are pro-choice if you wouldn't force anyone to do as you wish.

But you can definitely very strongly disapprove of one of the choices.  You wouldn't force your daughter to abort OR to keep the baby, but you can make your strong disapproval of one of these choices known.  That doesn't make you antichoice.[/quote]

DP. Right, I think most of understand what OP is trying to prove, it's just that the point is nonsense. Pro-choice, as a term, refers to your position on whether abortion should be legal (and who should get to make the ultimate decision), not whether or not you'd ever have an opinion on what choice other people make. People can be pro-choice and have opinions (for or against) individual abortions, because "choice" is about what's compelled by law now what people might prefer.[/quote]
