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).
The term is deceptive by deflecting or glossing-over the true meaning.
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.[Citation Needed] The label can be stated as pro-"choice", with quotation marks, to reflect a lack of support by the person of informed choice.
"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. Who said this?
Planned Parenthood performs nearly 200 abortions for every referral for adoption.
The more accurate term for people and organizations who support taxpayer-funded abortion, or otherwise promote abortion, is pro-abortion.
