The '''"pro-choice"''' position in the [[abortion debate]] maintains that the decision to give birth is entirely a personal one, literally a "matter of choice" with no one else having a say. A doctor may advise, but only in a limited capacity. He ought not try to influence the pregnant woman, even if she's just a girl. He should not inform her about the long-term medical harms of the operation, or the emotional or social consequences, but simply let her make up her own mind. Advocates justify this position with the materialistic idea that a human being does not exist until after his complete birth (see [[partial-birth abortion]]).

Advocates use the misleading term ''pro-choice'' to promote [[abortion]]; by its terms it implies pro-''informed'' choice, when in fact pro-choice supporters oppose informing women about the long-term medical harms of the operation.{{fact}}  The label can be stated as '''pro-"choice"''', with quotation marks, to reflect a lack of support by the person of ''informed'' choice. The term is deceptive by deflecting or glossing-over the true meaning. ''"How can anybody be against having a choice?"'' It is not a choice that is destroyed in the womb, but a human being. Nobody has the 'right' to play God. {{weasel words}}<br />
