YES! I had this EXACT discussion with my niece, who grew up in an Evangelical church. She called herself pro-life, but didn't think it was up to her or anyone else to make that decision for someone else. I wrote back to her (this discussion was via text) that she basically just described the quintessential pro-choice position. She just couldn't bring herself to ID as pro-choice, because the Rs have so successfully propagandized that term to be pro-abortion. There is NOTHING that is "prolife" about making abortion illegal; it only leads to death and suffering for living, breathing women.

A couple participants on The Focus Group podcast said that too. Said "I'm pro-life but I think women should be able to decide for themselves." UM WHAT
