I am pro-abortion, not just pro-choice

[Saint Frankenstein]

We can't have our own little 'opinions' about the teachings of the Catholic Church, that's silly. Do you believe or you don't believe?

Excuse you, but you can practice Catholic spirituality while disagreeing with the conservative wing in the hierarchy. I also said that there's independent Catholics and independent groups. I might not go back to a Catholic parish in communion with Rome because I'm fed up with the nasty attitudes I frequently come across. I was driven away from it. Not that it's any of your business in the first place.

Thought this was an interesting article: I am pro-abortion, not just pro-choice: 10 reasons why we must support the procedure and the choice

My views have shifted from being anti-abortion to being pro-choice, after losing my Catholic blinders and being able to think on the subject independently. I now totally support abortion and all other forms of contraception, as a fundamental right in terms of self-autonomy and healthcare.

I do not understand the labels. Shouldn't it be "pro-choice and anti-choice"? or pro-life and anti-life"? But I have noticed that pro-life does not actually mean that. Pro-lifers seem to actually be only anti-abortionists.....once the baby is born, they are nowhere to be found.

It's called political framing. Each side comes up with a name for their position that makes the other side look bad. So if you're "pro-life", the opposition must be "pro-death" or "anti-life". If you're "pro-choice", the opposition must be "anti-choice".
