Choose your weapon.
The fact is that there are two parts of the "pro-choice" movement.
You have the people who profit from abortion, Planned Parenthood, Gloria Allred, NOW, NARAL, Emily's List etc. These are the people who could almost be termed Pro-abortion.
But, then you have the vast majority of pro-choice people. These are the people who do not profit from the procedure but look at the issue and whether or not they would ever consider the option of abortion, believe that the decision lies solely with the pregnant mother and that this is not something that the government should interfere with in any way whatsoever.
To claim that this second group is "pro-abortion" is not only wrong but detrimental to the cause of defending life. It is no less wrong than claiming that the pro-life movement is "anti-choice".

I see it as a simple matter of a patient's autonomy over their own health. Patient's have the right to make choices over matters involving their own health, even if they are detrimental.
I would expand that to physician assisted suicide, based on the Oregon model, which I believe should be a patient's choice as well.
That would put you as a member of the second group.

So be it. I am less concerned with the semantics of the issue and more concerned with the pragmatism behind the patient autonomy movement.
