Thank you Joe Biden for pointing out that you can be pro-life personally but pro-choice politically. The country needed to hear that.

Ugh, no. This is just perpetuating the misconception that pro-choice = abortions all the time in every situation. Being “pro-life personally but pro-choice politically” IS being pro-choice, full stop. 

There really is no pro-choice vs. pro-life. There is only pro-choice, the protection of woman’s right to choose regardless of whether you would chose abortion for yourself, vs. anti-choice, the desire to strip women of those rights according to your own personal beliefs.

This was my problem with this post as well. As a whole, pro-choice is not pro-abortion. Pro-choice is do whatever the fuck you want because it’s your body and you can choose. Individuals who are pro-choice can be completely against abortion but know that it’s not their place to make that decision for someone else.

But again, the terminology is totally fucked and this pro-life/pro-choice dichotomy needs to end and we need to start using more accurate language that actually resembles what people believe.
