anti-choicers
Reproductive rights adversaries
Anti-choicers are people who oppose abortion rights, from the perspective of those who support them.
The term reframes "pro-life" as opposition to women's reproductive choices rather than defense of fetal life: Anti-choicers have been working to overturn Roe v. Wade for decades.
Like "pro-choicer," it's primarily used by one side of the debate.
