pro-choice

an american political stance characterized by the idea that abortion is a pregnant woman’s right, as guaranteed by roe v wade. compare to pro-life.
president bush is not pro-life.
a political view that believes that abortion should continue to be legal and accessible. pro-choice is not necessarily pro-abortion, but merely being in support of a woman’s having the option available. people who follow this view would not necessarily opt for abortion themselves, but do not wish to deny others the option.
pro-choice is not an ant-thesis to pro-life; while the pro-life view would force women to give birth, pro-choice would not force them to abort.
someone who believes that abortion should be legalized.
