I'm pro-choice, not pro-abortion. It's not my place to tell other people what to do with their bodies, and I firmly believe that before the viability of the fetus outside the mother's body, the fetus is more or less an extension of the mother's body and it's her right to decide what to do.
It's ok to call pro-life viewpoints anti-abortion I guess but "pro-abortion" for someone who is pro-choice insinuates that that person would like a free-for-all policy on abortion including late term abortions, encouraged abortions and unsafe practices which is just not true (for the bulk of us that are pro-choice).
For me with the point in my life that I'm at right now, should an unplanned pregnancy occur I would probably not get an abortion. However, I don't think it's right for the government to interfere in that (very private) decision.
FWIW, I do think it's odd that many conservatives want the government to more strongly regulate abortion or get rid of it all together, but there are so many aspects of their lives and finances where they want the government to GTFO, and liberals want the government to GTFO (somewhat) of abortion but are willing to allow the government to interfere in other aspects. That last sentence doesn't make much sense but I'm at a loss about how to put it.
