Democrats Willing to Fund Pro-Life Candidates to Win Back Congress

42. I don't see how you could be legitimately called anti-choice

As a matter of fact, a person who wants abortion to be available as a choice only under the most extreme circumstances does register on a continuum as prochoice at a point. When it gets down to it, I think a person is only truly antichoice when they want there to be no legal or physical possibility to voluntarily make the decision to have that procedure.
On the other hand I don't think someone who opposes abortion the death penalty is a prolife position.

I once heard a law professor give a talk on Roe vs. Wade. She made the argument that it should not have been framed as a matter of choice because it is also a bit of a Constitutionally vague construct. On the other hand, she suggested that the ruling would have been more solid if the argument relied on equal protection. As in, the biological investment and risk is unequal. The only possible remedy to bring some semblance of equality is for a woman to be able to terminate the investment and risk.

I don't have a legal background that could provide a thorough analysis, but it seems that she made a fair point when she suggested that the reason we continue to argue is the lack of a concrete ruling.
