It is literally a "matter of choice" with no one else, including the father or child, having a say. A doctor may advise, but only in a limited capacity. He ought not try to influence the pregnant woman, even if she's just a young girl. Advocates justify this position with the materialistic idea that a human being does not exist until after his complete birth (see [[partial-birth abortion]]).

The pro-abortion position is fine with about a million abortions annually in the United States, many at taxpayer expense. "Pro-aborts" are those who are comfortable with this status quo and who oppose pro-life criticism of it or reform legislation to reduce it.

Pro-aborts often prefer the euphemism "pro-choice" as a way of denying their support, explicit or implicit, for abortion at public expense. "Pro-choice" is a misnomer because the child does not have a choice and pro-aborts typically oppose any choice for the father also. Pro-aborts often oppose any choice by pro-life physicians, nurses or pharmacists.

Pro-aborts also typically oppose ensuring that woman has information about the medical harms, such as increases suicide rates, that result from abortion. So "pro-choice" opposes "informed choice."

Planned Parenthood is closely aligned with the pro-abortion side: it performed nearly 135 abortions for every referral for adoption in 2008.[1]
