Too bad that is just your opinion and not reality.
The reality is that much of the pro-choice movement does not want to allow for late-term abortions. It's not simply the ability to make any decision you want. The word "Choice" was just a PR move given that being pro-abortion just sounds so darned negative.

I don't feel there are "varying degrees of pro-choice". If someone is TRULY pro-choice, then they feel that a woman (and her health care provider and father of the child) should be making the decision whether or not to CHOOSE to have an abortion. Being pro-choice is not saying "I don't think abortion is murder". I know women who feel that abortion is murder and would never choose that outcome for themselves, but they recognize that what's best for them isn't the best decision for ALL women. That to me is the distinction between pro-choicers and pro-lifers. To me, pro-lifers feel like they have a right to exercise their personal opinions over my life, while pro-choicers realize that everyone should have the right to make their own decisions, just like we have a choice on where to live, what to wear, and what religion to believe in.
I'm ready for the flood gates of people to argue with me now.
