pro-abortion
Supporting pregnancy termination
Pro-abortion describes support for abortion rights or access to abortion services.
The term is used both by advocates who embrace it and by opponents as a characterization—sometimes pejoratively, implying enthusiasm for abortion itself rather than merely defending the right to choose.
The candidate's pro-abortion stance cost her votes in rural districts.
Compare pro-choice, which emphasizes the decision rather than the procedure.
