conservative people need to stop correlating a “woman’s right to choose” as though it is pro-abortion.

But it is pro-abortion-being-legal.

Again, from a political perspective, if someone says “that should be between a woman, her God, and her doctor; not the State”, that statement should not be taken as suggesting abortion is always the best and preferred choice. ie. Pro-choice is not necessarily pro-abortion.

I think I understand your point, but my point is that the only way to keep it between the woman and her God and her doctor is if abortion is legal. If it is illegal, the state is clearly involved in the choice.

And yet, the Democratic Party needs to get away from this argument. When Obama said “that’s above my pay grade” people lambasted him for not taking a side. I liked that answer a lot, but people wouldn’t accept it.

I can sympathize with that kind of any answer, but I also can’t blame people for thinking he was avoiding the question.
