The position is pro-abortion (or "[[pro-choice]]"). According to the Style Manual of the liberal [[Associated Press]], the correct term is "pro-abortion rights" because someone can support abortion rights without personally supporting abortion. Although conservatives would argue this position is illogical since one should not personally oppose murder but think it should be legal, it is at least theoretically possible to hold this view.

The argument expressed by the phrase is that the decision to have an elective [[abortion]] is always and necessarily a private matter between a woman and her doctor. It implies that the decision is simply "a matter of choice", and that no one else has a high enough stake in the matter to overrule her choice.
