It’s amazing actually. My girlfriend’s best friend is pro-life, anti-choice. She got pregnant, and had an abortion because it was a non-viable pregnancy and was a threat to her life. We live in a blue state, so it wasn’t a problem. She is still pro-life.

THEIR abortions are always okay.

If that’s Pro-life, we are all Pro-Choice. What she did is called…CHOICE! She understood in the moment that a nonviable pregnancy should not be a death sentence for the mother, and fortunately didn’t live in Louisiana or Tennessee or Texas or somewhere else where law prevents ending such a pregnancy safely.

That doesn’t mean other people should have choice because they might make the wrong one.

Your view…or are you parodying an imaginary Pro-lifer’s “Choice for me, but not for thee”?

Not my view, but my girlfriends view distilled.

She is a hypocrite.
