By many people that are pro-abortion. The following way of thinking seems to be norm nowadays: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_either_with_us,_or_against_us https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_either_with_us,_or_... I think the term "pro-life" is being abused to put labels on people who are just against the points I mentioned. These people are not necessarily "anti-abortion".

Who exactly is pro-abortion? Do you think there are women out there getting their kicks from getting pregnant just to have an abortion because it's such a fun time? It's an imperfect choice in an imperfect world, where a lot can happen. I wouldn't say anyone is "pro-abortion", but a lot of people are pro-choice, knowing that a blanket ban puts people at risk. > I think the term "pro-life" is being abused to put labels on people who are just against the points I mentioned. These people are not necessarily "anti-abortion". So what you're saying is someone who thinks it's okay to get a first trimester abortion for any reason is pro-life? That seems absurd.

  Sorry I meant "pro-choice" and I agree with what you say. I never wanted to say that abortion is a good thing or there are people that want this. What I wanted to say is that there are not just 2 sides: pro-choice: agreeing with any form of abortion (note: I am not saying people want it) pro-life: against any form of abortion

  As I keep getting downvoted. Can you explain, as English is not my native language, why being pro-something also implies that the people undergoing that something are liking it? If someone is pro-war, does that imply that the people that are part of the war are liking it?

    Terminology is extremely important, the words we use have meaning. "Pro-abortion" implies (especially when compared to "pro-life") that abortion is to be promoted above other options or abortion is something good or something to strive for. The correct term is "pro-choice" because its not about promoting abortion, its about promoting an individual's choice of how to handle a pregnancy and making every option safely and readily available to them. "Pro-choice" and "pro-abortion" are not synonyms of each other and calling the pro-choice movement "pro-abortion" is not correct.
