The pro-abortion view supports how roughly one million abortions are performed annually in the United States, many at taxpayer expense. "Pro-aborts" are those who are comfortable with this status quo and who oppose pro-life criticism of it or reform legislation to reduce it. Many pro-aborts even seek to increase the number of abortions performed in the United States, and worldwide.[Citation Needed]

Euphemism
Pro-aborts often prefer the euphemism "pro-choice" as a way of denying their support, explicit or implicit, for abortion at public expense. Conservatives believe that the label "pro-choice" is a misnomer because the child does not have a choice and pro-aborts typically oppose any choice for the father. Pro-aborts often oppose any choice by pro-life physicians, nurses or pharmacists.[Citation Needed] Pro-aborts also typically oppose ensuring that women have information about the medical harms, such as increases suicide rates, that result from abortion.[Citation Needed]
Examples
- Planned Parenthood is closely aligned with the pro-abortion side: it performed nearly 135 abortions for every referral for adoption in 2008.[1]
Effects
Pro-aborts have caused abortion rates to be higher in the United States than in comparable European nations.[Citation Needed] For example, the laws concerning abortion are far more protective of the unborn child in Germany and in Israel than in the United States.
