The Term “Pro-Choice”
— Posted by Christina (February 7, 2008 at 9:37 pm)
Recently, I was asked why I use the term “pro-abortion”, instead of the term “pro-choice”, when speaking of support for abortion.
I believe that, when it comes to abortion, it is important to be honest with ourselves as to whether or not we support abortion. So here I will take the opportunity to explain why I always use that term, and why I feel that is it important for all of us to accurately name our support for or opposition to abortion.
Of course, it is important to make an effort, when talking to people, to use words that correctly convey what you are trying to say. This provides for a clear understanding and effective communication.
Now, I understand that the term “pro-choice” is for many people a description of the position of support for abortion.
Before following this trend, however, I had to know that it accurately described the position of support for abortion. As it turns out, I learned that this term does not accurately describe the position of support for abortion. And that is why I never use it.
You see, a genuinely pro-choice person would have to hold that it is always equally right to choose or not to choose to abort a baby, regardless of the circumstances or origin of a pregnancy.
There can never be such a person, because, just as a person can never serve two masters, so no person can serve two directly opposed beliefs. But yet in order to be able to accurately call oneself pro-choice, one would have to serve two directly opposed beliefs.
Now, one might say that he/she is undecided and does not actively support or oppose abortion. I will answer this argument with some words of a survivor of the Nazi holocaust, Elie Weisel: “… We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormenter, never the tormented….”
The killing of an innocent person cannot be neither right nor wrong. And therefore we cannot take a neutral position on it. We are either for it or against it. If we do not believe that it should be stopped, than we believe that it’s okay for it to continue, because we obviously have found no reason that it should not be allowed to continue.
So, when it comes to abortion which is the killing of innocent children, everyone is either for it or against it.
Anyone who has not found reason to help stop abortion also sees no wrong in abortion being allowed to continue. And if no reason is found that justifies ending something, that something has no reason to be ended, and will continue without disruption.
Thus, if one does not oppose abortion, one must necessarily support it, even if that support be through silence or disinterest.
These paragraphs have explained well, I hope, the fact that one cannot both support and oppose abortion, or, in other words, be genuinely pro-choice on the issue of abortion.
Each of us must decide whether or not we support the killing of innocent children through abortion. Are we pro-life or are we pro-abortion? We can’t be pro-choice.
Many people who support abortion have decided to term their support as “pro-choice” instead of as “pro-abortion”, the correct term. Why have they done this? Why have they not called their support for abortion by its real name, as people who oppose abortion have called their opposition by its real name?
But you understand now why I always use the term “pro-abortion” to describe support for abortion. The term “pro-choice” cannot have meaning in the abortion issue.
God bless.

I’m going to be totally honest. Here I am the director of Generations for Life and I am sometimes uncomfortable with the term pro-abortion. I use it among other pro-lifers, but I wimp out around the press and some family members.
Everything you have said Christina is correct and I think I need to become more comfortable with the term pro-abortion among those who may not like it.
I do believe it is important to meet people where they are at, but using the term “pro-choice” was chosen for the entire purpose of avoiding the issue and the work “abortion.”
Thank you for your insights. I will try to live up to this challenge.

Perhaps the term pro-abortion marginalizes the opposition in political speech, but it does not accurately reflect the feelings of those, including myself, that believe women should have the ability to exercise FULL control over her body even when she is pregnant.
If we are going to speak into superlatives and slander positions, we both can do that, but it hardly gets anyone anywhere besides screaming at each other.
For instance, if I wanted to do that, I could call you a fascist and misogynist. After all, what kind of woman would force another to prolong a pregnancy that is not desired? What kind of woman would violate another woman so brutally? What kind of woman would judge the circumstances of another woman’s choice? What kind of woman stands on a street corner holding signs depicting graphic bloodied picture of another woman’s tragedy?
These are all legitimate questions. I’m not saying yours aren’t legitimate either, but please refrain from using the political hyperbole of some of your elders on this site Christina. Our generation cannot accomplish anything with this rhetoric. We cannot collectively end the need or desire for abortion without working to some degree together. You force women like me into a corner and force us to violently defend ourselves and our bodies from you. Quite literally you are trying to put a barrier between me and my body. That is unnatural and quite burdensome.
Fight against the injustice out there that women often cannot socially or financially have children out of wedlock. Fight for access to sex education. Fight for access to contraception for those who seek it. Fight for those less fortunate than you. But please, do not fight against those who have to make a decision you honestly have no experience understanding.

Miss March says:
Lauren,
While you are right in that I have no idea what it would be like to make a decision in that position, I must ask you this. You said, “What kind of woman would violate another woman so brutally?” My question to you is, What kind of a woman would violate, and kill, her own child so brutally, even in any circumstances you could think of? Perhaps you are that kind of mother, but I’m hoping you just do not understand abortion.
I’m praying for your conversion of heart! God bless you!
In the Love of Christ!

First I’d just like to say welcome to Christina and that I really thought this was an insightful post. I do believe what you are saying is true, however the argument only works if one has a certain viewpoint: that abortion is murder (which by the way I think is correct). As such, I do not really expect “pro-choicers” who do not think abortion is murder to accept the argument. To many of them, it would be like you’re arguing that one cannot believe it neither wrong nor right to pull a weed from the garden. Therefore, this argument between “pro-choicers” and pro-lifers will be fruitless until we convince them that abortion is in fact murder, by which time terminology will no longer matter.
And Lauren, as for your comment about whether or not it would be fair to call a pro-lifer “anti-choice”, I, personally, do not care if you call me “anti-choice”. I am anti-choice about a lot of things: a person should not legally have the “choice” to rape or beat a women, a person should not legally have a “choice” to rob someone. And a person should not legally have a “choice” to murder an innocent unborn child. Though “pro-life” is my preffered term.

If you really claim to be “Catholic”…check out this link of what the Pope says about this issue:

You cannot serve 2 masters…either you are Catholic AND Pro-life OR continue your errant ways as a pro-choice/ pro-abort.
I hope you realize the truth before it’s too late.

No, because I said both were unfair. YOu missed the essence of what I was saying.
Rachel.
I’m sorry I just don’t agree with the premise that you are killing a viable child. I think every situation has its own merit. Every abortion is tragic yes, but at the same time, forcing a woman to carry to term a child that she does not wish to have is also tragic. A pregnancy at eight weeks is not the same as a pregnancy at 4 months.. it simply isn’t.
Miss March.
What conversion of mine are you praying for? Sticking my head in the sand and pretending I cannot see the logic and reason of secular world. I’m confident and more than comfortable in saying I don’t know what will happen to me when i die and I’m comfortable in also saying that I don’t know if there is a God. How can you be so comfortable in the unproven, illogical terms of religion? I cannot be. It is unsettling, disturbing, and cultish. I simply cannot swallow that pill. I cannot be brainwashed and nor will I follow the collective thinking of crowds. If my gut and my reason tell me it’s not right to follow religion, especially religions that have histories of violence, aggression, and intolerance, I will do that. I cannot muster up the strength/cowardice to convince myself of something that I will never see.
Rosie, do any of your views conflict with that of the Catholic church? Death penalty, war, etc?
I am so glad I did the wise thing of never returning to my Catholic faith after Confirmation. My church was the most backwards, racist establishment I have ever been in.

“Rosie, do any of your views conflict with that of the Catholic church? Death penalty, war, etc?”
Death penalty- not for it. I am for killing in self defense though, the actual commandment is “thou shalt not murder”, not kill as most people misquote it.
War- this war i’m not really for, but I do think there is such a thing as a just war. It would be very interesting to see if we would be in Africa “liberating” people if they had oil. It would be nice to actually help someone who wants help…
anything else, just ask…

I do believe I said “conversion of heart” which I intended more towards pro-life. However, if you want to talk about a faith conversion, I’m happy to oblige.
“How can you be so comfortable in the unproven, illogical terms of religion?”
Quite simply because it is not unproven nor illogical. I am a very logical person by nature and cannot stand by anything that is unproven or illogical. I recently wrote a series of papers for the direct purpose of logically proving the existence of a God, and that He founded a Church, the Catholic Church. Happy to share them if you wish!

Because we have a choice, to have or have not, it is our choice. Please stay the heck out of my Doctor’s office and my bedroom. It is my choice.
One of the best ways to prevent the need to have an abortion is through education, it works in all matters and it works in sex education as well. Why are pro lifers so opposed to education? Why do we have the highest abortion rate in the Western world, becaues we fail to educate.
One day soon the White House will change parties and along with both houses pro choice the pro lifers will fade away like Carry Nation and the Temperance Movement.
Respectfully with reason and science.

James,
We, pro-lifers, are NOT opposed to sex education. We oppose a biased sex education promoting promiscuity among kids. IF the education given to teens (not kids) provides truthful information about the gift of sexuality in the context of marriage and responsibility (including Abstinence education) then we would not have the highest abortion rate in the Western world.
And..pro-lifers will never fade away…we are bringing up the next generation of pro-lifers…you are killing yours. Guess who’ll be fading away?

Hey folks,
Great conversation I’m hearing.
Back to the original topic, the term pro-life is very accurate, because we stand against all forms of violence and dehumanization of all persons of the species, homo sapiens.
The pro-life movement is about human rights, the right to life for all, especially the unborn, because abortion kills more human beings, human souls than any other destructive social device in history, including all wars.
To be pro-life means to protect the weak, the defenseless, the voiceless groups of humans in our society, from the natural beginning of life to the natural end of life.
We protect and give human dignity to the unborn, the elderly, disabled, women, children, minorities, the sick and dying, and those accused of crimes from the horrors of abortion, euthanasia, child abuse, racism, and the death penalty.
The pro-life movement is not just “anti-abortion” because we protect and serve the weakest and vulnerable among us.
That is what it means to be pro life.

Katie,
Beautiful comment! I’m sort of ashamed to say that sometimes, when referring to myself as pro-life, I’m only thinking about anti-abortion. Pro-life really does encompass so much more than that though! Thanks for the reminder.
Also, Mike, there are more resources for sex education than Theology of the Body. That is a great one, but there are others. For example, Casti Connubii and Humani Vitae (the papal encyclicals), which my health class is currently using. There are also some great books out there by lay people, but I can’t recall exact titles right now.
God bless all!

Thanks for writing about the meaning of the word “pro-choice.” I have once asked a close friend if she was pro-abortion, and she said no, but then she followed up with “but I’m pro-choice.” And I’ve been wondering for a while what the difference between them is. Do you think people made up the word “pro-choice” because somehow they don’t feel at ease with saying that they’re actually supporting the killing of babies?

Petrufied—
Salamat for stopping by our blog! I’ve added you to our blogroll.
I see from your blog that you’re from Quezon City — my wife’s mom’s family is from there! (And her dad’s familiy is from Iloilo.)
You’re absolutely right about some people coming up with the term “pro-choice”. And it’s for this reason that we as pro-lifers should hold our opponents feet to the fire, so to speak, when having a conversation with someone who identifies himself/herself as “pro-choice”.
I always find it useful to say something like, “OK, define ‘choice.’ What exactly is the ‘choice’ you support?” Then, when you get the person to admit that he is talking about abortion, ask him to explain, in very precise terms, exactly what happens to a baby in an abortion. And then ask, “So that’s the type of ‘choice’ you believe should be legal?”

Wow! Salamat! For the advice and for adding me. It’s also nice to hear that your wife is Filipina
I’m sure that a lot of the people who consider themselves pro-choice simply use the word sparingly and forget (or try to forget) what the “choice” there actually involves. Maybe it’s also a result of the “convenience” of the option. But if they really try to be vigilant Catholics, they’ll know how much we don’t need it. After all, there’s abstinence–the beautiful concept of saving yourself for the person you eventually marry. I hope for real love; I don’t see it practiced so much anymore, but it’s never to late to make changes!

Kendra says:
I think using the term pro-abortion is not only ignorant, but ridiculously incorrect. I think it’s completely biased and close-minded to assume that anyone who calls themselves pro-choice would go and encourage abortions. Just because I would terminate an unplanned pregnancy at this point in my life doesn’t mean I think everyone should. I think starting a family is something that should be a choice, not just an accident that happened and is now a grudging reminder.
I also believe abortions may be the answer depending on the situation, and I’m not just talking rape or incest. I know girls who have gone to very destructive measures to try and miscarry when they thought they were pregnant. Some of these methods include binge drinking on an empty stomach, having someone punch them repeatedly or push them down a flight of stairs, attempting to “penetrate” the fetus, or taking various home concoctions to induce a miscarriage. I don’t know about the pope, but I would much rather have someone choose to have a surgery than to do something that could harm themselves or an unborn child for the rest of its days.
If you’re Catholic or Christian, don’t you believe that everything is predetermined? If so, then God already predetermined that that child would not be born, so don’t lose any sleep over it.

Kendra,
We can’t support legal abortion as a solution to the problem of women hurting themselves in their efforts to use home methods to kill their unborn children. That would be using an evil means to attain a good end. We can’t support one evil in our zeal to end another evil. Because then we haven’t really solved the problem of evil. We’ve eliminated one evil, yes, but we’ve also just created another in the process of eliminating that first evil. So we got nowhere.

I understand that you believe abortion is evil and wrong. But I believe that your statement means you’d rather risk a girl killing herself in order to miscarry than have an abortion, and I find that wrong and to be frank, evil. I also find it evil and slightly racist that other people think they have the right to speak for a child that is not theirs and attempt to tell someone else what to do with their own body. I’m not asking you to support abortion because people who are pro-choice and pro-life will never see eye to eye on the issue of abortion. However, I am asking you if you would rather have one life never happen, or have two lives completely end (one which had a past and a family), or if you would support having to lives drastically altered and probably never be the same or be normal.

Christina says:
Kendra,
The lives of both pregnant mothers and their unborn children are precious and equal in worth. If we kill the child in order to preserve the life of the mother, we are deciding that the mother’s life is more valuable than her baby’s. What we try to always do is save the lives of both mother and child. But we simply cannot kill one to save the other because then we put more worth on one than on the other. If a mother dies during pregnancy or childbirth, this is a great tragedy and we do our best to see to it that this does not happen, but if she does die despite our best efforts, we still did not inflict or intend her death. In an abortion, the death of the baby is always intended and inflicted. This is what makes abortion so wrong: the intentional death of an innocent person.
I hope this helps, and God bless.

I think you’re very well spoken and I do see your point, but I cannot say that I would just “hope” a pregnant girl doesn’t die. I would never want to risk something like that. And once again, if things are pre-determined, which the majority of Christians believe, that baby was never meant to happen.

Kendra said: “And once again, if things are pre-determined, which the majority of Christians believe, that baby was never meant to happen.”
Kendra—I’d urge you to reconsider what you’re saying here, as it could be used to justify any sin as somehow being in accord with what God had predetermined.
What you’re talking about is a Calvinist view of predestination, which, thankfully, most Christians do not believe in.
While it’s certainly true that God is all-knowing, and therefore knows in advance what sins each of us is going to commit, that definitely does not mean that he wants us to commit those sins.
In fact, just the opposite is true.
Just as it would be madness to say, “It’s meant to happen that some children will be molested, because God predetermined it,” it’s also madness to say, “It’s meant to happen that some children will be killed by abortion, because God predetermined it.”

Go right ahead. You have every right to ask all the questions you want about Christianity.
In fact, I hope you keep asking questions.
Kendra also said:” I am not justifying sins by asking a question or making and open-ended statement.”
Kendra— originally, you said this:
If you’re Catholic or Christian, don’t you believe that everything is predetermined? If so, then God already predetermined that that child would not be born, so don’t lose any sleep over it.
The answer to your question is, as I stated in a previous comment, that God is all-knowing, and therefore knows in advance what sins each of us is going to commit, but that definitely does not mean that he wants us to commit those sins.
What you’re doing here is begging the question; I was simply pointing out that at least as far as the Catholic Church is concerned (I have no authority to speak for all groups that call themselves Christian), you have some big misconconceptions about what we believe about predestination.
The idea that we should not “lose any sleep” over babies killed by abortion is radically opposed to what we believe. On the contrary, we should always lament the presence of sin in the world and strive to grow closer to God by avoiding sin ourselves and encouraging others to do the same.

Kendra said: There’s this wonderful thing in our nation’s constitution called “seperation of church and state”, I suggest your read about it.
Kendra—A few things:
First, I’d I would invite you look at our Q & A section, where we explain why we believe what we believe. You’ll notice that there are no references to God, Jesus, the Bible, or Church teaching contained in any of our responses.
We deliberately chose not to include any religious references to make the point that opposition to abortion need not be rooted in religious belief — a fact borne witness to by the existence of groups like the Atheist and Agnostic Pro-Life League.
Second, you brought up the issue of Christianity. You asked a question about Christian beliefs, and I addressed your question.
Third, believe it or not, I actually am quite fond of the idea of separation of church and state, properly understood. As a result, in our country, churches are not subject to government control.
I must confess, though, that I’m not quite sure what you mean by this term, which, btw, does not appear in the U.S. Constitution or any of its Amendments.
I certainly hope you don’t interpret the idea of separation of church and state to mean that religious beliefs are not welcome in discussions of how laws and policies should be shaped. If you really did believe that, you’d then have to say that many abolitionist groups in the pre-Civil War era were acting improperly by framing their arguments against slavery in explicitly Christian terms and campaigning to have the country’s laws changed in accord with these beliefs.
You’d also then have to say that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his Southern Christian Leadership Conference were acting improperly when they likewise appealed to their religious beliefs in an attempt to enact civil rights laws.

I am completely with you. I am also pro-choice, and I do not support late abortions. I do not go encouraging everybody to go ahead and abort their babies. I think women have the right to choose, and there are also reasons that abortion should be allowed.
I despise how everybody ties this situation in with religion.
See what happened in history? They decided to leave out certain details in the bible and women were suppressed for hundreds of years. Yes, Eve was not the first woman…the first woman actually left Adam, and men decided that they did not like that so they was “accidentally” left out.
