you say "yet you say there is no justification for prochoice. "

What is prochoice to you? What choice, what action do you seek justification for. Who is doing the action and who is the innocent victim of the choice. Does this choice a clear direct target that becomes the victim. If this choice is made does with 100% certainty a human life end.

"yet you say there is no justification for prochoice"

The moniker "Pro-choice" indicates that it is ok to choose to kill an unborn child. If one is confronted with that "choice" they must wrestle with the implications and decide whether the killing of their unborn child is "justified".

I cannot justify it myself, so I would not choose to abort my unborn child. So the key in my mind is how one can "justify" abortion internally because I do not think it can be publicly justified without dodging the issue and making invalid comparisons as you have done. It is legal, but it is a decision that has huge moral implications that last a lifetime.

The groups that publicly support it use non-sensicle arguments like:

1) men have no grounds to voice an opinion
2) it strictly has to do with a woman's choice (as if there is no baby being aborted)
3) life does not start until after the baby leaves the womb

You get the idea. Try to support it logically without skirting the issue, and then see how you feel about it. It is a harder "choice" to make when broken down to it's basic element, which is unborn humans have no right to live.

Kind of creepy, isn't it?
