You can't legitimately complain about the imperfection of one label and not the other.

Of course you can. The so-called pro-life movement, even in its narrowest sense, is mislabeled. To be consistent within the parameters of its origins, it would support other measures to reduce abortions--birth control measures, sex education, and the like. It does not.

You could call the so-called pro-life movement, as anti-privacy, if you like. But it's fascinating that it's women's privacy that's being invaded. Not men's.

As for helmets and seat belts, give me a break. These are well outside the bounds of the discussions about abortion.

Well, it isn't choice per se that is important to pro choicers- it's the choice about reproduction, whereas prolifers tend to go on and on about the sanctity of life in general. I'd say that's a bit of a difference.

I don't care if prochoice people get a longer name. Pro- reproductive choice, is fine with me. Then we need to call the pro lifers "pro fetal life"- so we can square it with "life begins at conception, and ends at birth".
