While I'm not in favor of outlawing abortion, I think the Pro-choice label is a deliberate attempt to hide the reality of the situation. The reality is that the Pro-choice argument is an argument in favor of allowing abortion, and trying to hide that is just silly. No-one is in favor of abortion (vs not getting pregnant in the first place), but Pro-Choice is as meaningless a term as Pro-Abortion. And more importantly, is abortion really an issue that is a supremely important measure for a presidential candidate?
