39. because pro life is already thoroughly defined.
And because it is so well defined, trying to reclaim "pro-life" people are morphing what choice means.

I myself am pro choice, I would never describe myself as pro life. Pro life means no choice.

Also, I just explained why many people use the term "I'm pro life, but pro choice". For some reason they need to make a distinction, and when that is done, I think it weakens the pro choice stance. It's almost like they would never do anything so disgusting. It's almost like they feel the need to make themselves feel better about themselves. I think it is also indicative of how far the fundies have gotten into the head of women.

So, I chose to defend choice, not reclaim a term that already had a very clear meaning.
