As I said to Liza, professional "pro-choicers" are only "pro-choice" when people agree with them about abortion. The "pro-choice" Dem party, during its '92 convention, wouldn't allow Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey to address the delegates on the abortion issue because he had the wrong opinion. And to really stick it to Casey, the Dems invited pro-abortion Repubs to address the delegates instead.

What's "pro-choice" about that?

In addition, I've been involved with professional feminists (in foundations and related groups) who simply couldn't hear the thought that the fetus is snuffed in an abortion. They blanched at the mere suggestion that a developing human with a beating heart is wiped out, and they of course belittled my opinion (which at the time was more devil's advocate) because I was a man and the issue was none of my business. Pro-choice?

Now, of course this doesn't mean that every person who considers him- or herself pro-choice behaves this way. I'm pro-choice, and I don't. But in my experience with professional lefties, abortion usually comes down to Us and Them. Not much of a choice there.
