'Choice is the act of deciding what to do. It is also known as free will. Freedom is generally considered either the right or the ability to make decisions without coercion.
Choice is the basis of law. Choice is a fundamentally human activity, since law applying to animals does not apply to the choices made by animals. Instead, laws such as animal control and animal abuse laws apply to the choices of humans in regards to animals.
"Pro-Choice"
Choice has been used by proponents of abortion (Pro-Choice), who claim that a pregnant woman has the right to abort an unborn child. Opponents of abortion claim that the choice to reproduce was made at the time of the sexual act, and that if she didn't want her life to change, she shouldn't murder her own child.
Proponents then claim that in cases of rape and incest, the choice to reproduce was made by someone else, and that she never had a choice. Opponents then try to make the claim that the vast majority of abortions are not rape and incest cases, and are made for economic and personal reasons that, while affecting the mother's life in sometimes severe ways, do not rise to the level of balancing one life's value against another.
