Thanks Salvatore for your comments. It is true that the pro-choice side sees the issue as a choice to have the baby or abort it. I deal with this issue in my article (and explain why pro-abortion is the more fitting terminology), as well as other things you said, ie abortion being a difficult decision and that the decision should be made only by the person (s) involved. It would be interesting to get your feedback on the article which includes the dialogues I have been having with pro-choicers.

The statement I made where I thought the pro-choicers would have preferred for Cholia to be aborted is based on the fact that her mother was trying to obtain an abortion. Hence, the decision was made to abort, but destiny had a different path for Cholia. Pro-choicers would fully support the mother who had made the decision to abort her, hence, their thinking would be to support the mother to have access to the abortion. In other words, when the pro-choice logic is followed to its conclusion, they would have preferred that the mother’s wishes were fulfilled, that Cholia should have been killed through abortion. They are restricted by the mothers’s choice for abortion. But given that Cholia was born and has grown up, I and other pro-lifers are glad she is alive and contributing to society. She should never have felt unwanted. How would pro-choicers deal with this given the restricted thinking I mentioned above? It would be a dilemma for them to process.

I welcome your thoughts. I have discussed and debated abortion with feminists for three decades and they have always been cordial. The only fallout I had was with a dude last week! You will see our dialogue in my article (web address is in the previous comment).
