Clarifying what 'pro-choice' means
I read Betty Pearson's April 11 letter about the pro-choice standpoint, and I feel that I must clarify for her. To begin, pro-choice is not pro-abortion. We do not necessarily want women to choose abortion. We just understand that a woman should have the choice to have an abortion. Pro-life reasoning takes away this option and deprives the woman of her right to choose. So, the pro-choice stance does indeed involve choice: abortion, adoption and keeping the baby are all options from which to choose.
