How about we get the government out of it entirely and not legislate one way or the other.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Now, look at the key phrase: "that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth."

What does this have to do with methods that prevent conception from occurring in the first place?

Then of course the opposite view would have to be pro-abortion. I am glad to see you are not playing the word game.

Yes, its opposite would be "pro-abortion." The issue is with this one medical procedure.

No, being "pro-abortion" would be wanting people to have abortions.

Pro-choice people are exactly that; we think that people should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to have an abortion.

I can understand if you thought this about abortion, but about contraceptives taken beforehand? How can you try to escape what hasn't yet happened? When someone takes birth control they are trying to prevent consequences, not escape from them.

And I don't see the problem with trying to escape the consequences (especially of something like sex) anyway.

Pro-choice refers to choice. Choice covers ALOT more than just abortion. It is a sound good word.

Pro-abortion says you support keeping abortions. Because the argument is whether or not they should be legal, not whether or not you think they are right. The two are not the same.

When pro-choice refers only to abortion, than it is just a word game and pro-abortion is a more accurate term, just like anti-abortion instead of pro-life.

Like, pro-death penalty, doesn't mean I want to give out a bounch of executions, but that I feel that it should be an option, like pro-abortion doesn't want a bunch of abortions, but wants it to be a choice.

You would never know that from reading the "article" quoted in the OP or reading Hillary's remarks.

Because things like IUDs and birth control also stop implantation. Birth control does not always stop you from ovulating, but it makes it impossible for implantation to occur.

So, according to this, birth control pills and IUDs would become illegal.

I think the terms pro-choice and anti-choice would be more accurate when it comes to abortion. Pro-abortion makes it sound like you are gung ho in favor, rather than in favor of it being a woman's choice, while pro-life is a misnomer because in general, those who oppose abortion do not oppose war so they aren't truly "pro-life."
