Pro Abortion - what is it ?
Pro - in favor of
Abortion - a medical proceedure that terminates a pregnancy.
Pro Choice is some watered down soft speak, I like to call things what they are, "Pro Choice" as it is used, simply means keeping abortion legal, there are a large number of "Pro Choice" activists that are completely against counseling of adoption, or other options.
I am by the way "Pro Abortion" I believe it is an acceptable method of birth control.
Did you ever notice that most of the people against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place ? - George Carlin
In addition to being Pro Abortion I am also
Pro Free Speech
Pro Gun
Pro Death Penalty
Pro Drug Legalization
I am also all for taking the words "Under God" out of the Pledge becasue they weren't in there to begin with, however I do completely support the right of a religious child to say grace before eating his or her lunch in a public place.

Interesting, I've never heard someone who's pro-choice say they're against any other alternatives. That's what the "choice" part is about, with abortion being just one of a few.
And going by Colin's definition, I'd have to say I'm definitely pro-choice. Shoot all the heroin you want, smoke all the crack you want -- as long as your choices don't infringe on other people's, by imperiling or depriving them of life, liberty or property, fuckin' have at it, I say. Legalize all drugs and tax it heavily enough to cover rehab programs... works for me.
Except perhaps for the Death Penalty position, I'm "pro" pretty much everything else on your list, OldJeff. That matter I'm still mulling over (along with open borders and free trade).
