abortion
Use pro-choice, not pro-abortion; and use anti-abortion, not pro-life. Anti-choice can be used when talking about opposition to all reproductive rights, including abortion, birth control, family planning etc.

Comment on "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions

Because “pro-life” is not describing their position. They are not even “pro-fetus-life”. They are not taking any action to avoid accidental miscarriage in women, no educative program in this sense or collective action like distributing prenatal vitamins.
No, the only way to describe their position is “anti-abortion”. They are not pro anything, they are anti.

Doesn’t matter because only religion is used in every argument for anti choice. The real issue is the inability for conservatives to separate bullshit religion from their policies.

That’s because you cannot justify any sense of concrete morality without religion. So with atheism, morality is whatever they feel like. The abortion issue is probably the largest example of this in the west.

They are pro forced birth under all circumstances.
