Pro choice doesn't have to mean pro ALL choice- it refers to a very specific choice.

I understand that. But the keyword is choice just as the keyword on the other side is life. John pointed out that the pro-lifers weren' pro life in all cases. I countered that neither are the pro-choicers. I can't see any difference. Each is equally apt and inapt.

If the salient interest of the pro-choicers isn't choice in it's generic sense, then they should call themselves pro-abortion or pro-privacy or pro-reproductive rights, not pro-choice. You can't legitimately complain about the imperfection of one label and not the other.
