"Anti-choice" I think sums the RW position much better.
If they were 'pro-life' they would be anti-war and pro universal health care and favor good education for all.
No, I think "anti-choice" gets to the nut of their credo better. It also implies that they try to deny other choices such as contraception or RU486.

Anti-choice!

4. Been there, done that - unfortunately, it may not matter
Just when we finally thought abortion was being marginalized as a political wedge - since neither political party will outlaw it - this one asshole decides to go bin Laden on Dr. Tiller and force the issue back onto center stage, and now all the Operation Rescue saps are bitching about the "pre-born" and the "death mills" all over again.

He who will not reason is a bigot, he who can not is a fool, and he who dares not is a slave.

5. Force-birthers. That is what they are. They force birth, regardless of the circumstances.

9. I absolutely agree. That's the more descriptive, specific name for what they want to do.

11. Yes! Hell yes!
Being pro-life should mean that you care about life all the way up until the end of life, and giving that life every possible chance to lead a healthy life....

and they don't give a crap about children after they are born...or else they would be the ones screaming for healthcare for all, for stem cell research, for adoption of children by ALL loving people.
