The sematics bugs me

Pro-choice: indicates to me someone who is in favor of a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body. It doesn't indicate that a person is necessarily in favor of abortion. Women I know of who've had abortions certainly didn't pick it as a first option.

Pro-life is what confuses me. Whose life? Mothers? Fetus'? As a side note, it seems to me that a lot of pro-life people I know are big time capital punishment proponents. Seems to me, if all life is sacred and has value, the death penalty is as much murder as abortion.

I prefer pro-choice, and anti-choice.
