pro-choice
Supports reproductive choice
Pro-choice describes the position that abortion should be legally available and that the decision belongs to the pregnant person, not the government.
The term emerged in the 1970s as the affirmative framing preferred by abortion-rights advocates: She's been pro-choice since college.
It contrasts with pro-life, the term preferred by abortion opponents.
