Why is it loaded? It's the choice to have an abortion.

It's like claiming 'pro-gun' is a loaded word when the supporters want people to have the choice to own a gun.

I think 'pro-gun' is a bit different.... in fact, I think a better analogy would be people who want citizens to have the right to use a gun in self-defense against an intruder. You wouldn't say the person who is in favor of legal self-defense is 'pro-shooting-people', they just want people to have the right to do it if they need to. Someone who is 'pro-choice' doesn't want everyone to go out and have abortions every day, they want a woman to have the right to one if they need it.

Would you please stop using HN for political or ideological battle? We ban accounts that mostly do that. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
