I suppose the terminology could be equally valid if it were framed as 'pro-choice vs. anti-choice', as it has been many times before over the last 50+ years the issue has been debated. I think the anti-choice people (and that includes women as well as men) feel the need to add a deeper, philosophical/religious aspect to the issue, which is why they prefer 'pro-life' terminology. I personally am completely pro-choice, and that choice should only and always be up to the pregnant woman (not sure even to this day how to define what 'underaged' teenager is before parental input enters). The fact that I, personally, would not share that woman's opinion shouldn't matter one iota. So yeah, this whole legislative denial of freedoms we're going through now is just a pure power play by those anti-choice forces out there.

To always use the term 'anti-choice' on this topic would be my preference, as it applies to any POLITICAL usage. That is, after all, the only issue that relates to an actual ballot or vote - freedom of choice vs. denial of that freedom.
