If one of the choices is to have an abortion then
you implicitly support a person's right to have an
abortion if that person so wishes and can purchase
the service. Princples have logical consequences.
But if one of the choices is to continue to term, then
I implicitly support a person's right to continue to
term if that person so wishes and can purchase the
service, making me "pro-life". Principles have logical
consequences, right?
If principles have logical consequences, then I demand,
if you insist on using the term "pro-abortion" when
referring to me, that you use the *accurate* term of
"simultaneously pro-life and pro-abortion", since I am
clearly not one or the other *by itself*, but
*both simultaneously*.
Or you could just use the shorthand for "simultaneously
pro-life and pro-abortion", which is "pro-choice".
Faliure to do so means you are desiring to label me
as "not pro-life", which is inaccurate, and means you
are deliberately trying to label me as something which
I am not.
