I do have a question though; why do you qualify being pro-choice? I mean, why the need to express that you are not pro-abortion? Surely stating pro-choice explicitly means that you're pro-whatever a woman decides to do with her body, including seeking termination of pregnancy.
I don't know anyone who is seriously pro-abortion, as in considers abortion to be a method of birth control (even though it was, and to a certain extent still is in certain parts of Eastern Europe, where the stigma of abortion is greatly reduced). I'm inclined to believe that everyone would like to see less abortions and more safe-sex. As we know, the only way to reduce unwanted pregnancies is to teach ourselves and others how to use the proper methods of safety.
