"Abortion is bad" and "Abortion must be made illegal" are two different stances though. Most pro-choicers agree with everything he actually has said.
Also, a couple of his statements have clear extra-meanings.
Yeah like... isn't that the normal stance on abortion for pro-choice people? I've always thought of being pro-choice as just that. Allowing people the right to chose abortion as one of many option for situations that arise wherein abortion is a viable option. I am not especially jumping for joy at the thought of abortion, but I can think of countless situations wherein an abortion is the safest most humane option for all parties (of course I guess I would lose a lot of people at this point in my argument if they had to insist that a fetus was one of the parties) involved.
Put another way, a week or so ago I spoke about wanting children. I do. However, I can say without the shadow of a fucking doubt that if the choice was someone I loved over some potential baby I've never met or formed a bond with, I'm choosing the loved one every time.
Being pro-choice in my opinion is about just that. The choice. Maybe its the best choice for your situation, maybe its not. Maybe you make that decision and maybe you don't, but at the end of the day, its better to have the choice than not to.
