Pro-choice doesn’t mean you have to be pro-late-term-abortions though.

Now THAT’S silly.
Cremation doesn’t KILL anyone. Abortion does.

Okay, fine, then as much as pro-war means pro-murder. I’m not saying Abortion is right, I’m just saying that you shouldn’t define things in ways that are misleading.

What is misleading, IMHO, is trying to define a point where abortion doesn’t mean taking a life. Not a bunch of cells or a blob of tissue - a life, with a soul, created by God in His image.

My point is that being pro-choice is about just having the choice… it doesn’t mean that you always agree with the choice or that it’s a “good thing”. You can call abortion murder if you like, but being pro-choice is not strictly condoning it.

I disagree with your conclusion. At best, being pro-choice is allowing for the possibility that a great evil is acceptable as long as someone else commits the evil in the name of “choice”. I will speak up for the children sacrificed in this manner.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me. – Martin Niemoller.

Fair enough, but I’m not sure your quote there really applies in this particular case.
