Stereotype wars hardly ever have any basis in logic. If I failed Logic
101, then folks like Drieux and Doug Wilhite, who constantly call
pro-lifers "religiously motivated," were the first false (with regards
to intellegence in general) of them all.

Or, right-to-kill. 

Abortion is killing, and if pro-aborts support the right to kill, they
are right-to-kill, not pro-choice.

So what do you call pro-lifers who stopped the killing of that
anencephalic infant? Was that an anti-abortion effort? How's about
euthenasia?  

Your claim, even if it did hold water, falls apart now that pro-lifers
have been forced to take on issues broader than abortion. 

"Anti-abortion" doesn't describe any movement now. Now, it really is
"pro-life" versus "right to kill."

Whoops. Meet my foot. I hope your argument doesn't trip too hard, but
trip it has.

But we still have yet to hear pro-choicers admit that theirs was the
first wrong. 

No, wait, if it's pro-choice, it can't do anything wrong. I nearly
forgot that...
