The Pro-Choice Issue Spectrum
To be "pro-choice" is to believe that individuals have unlimited autonomy with respect to their own reproductive systems as long as they do not breach the autonomy of others.
A comprehensive pro-choice position affirms that all of the following must remain legal:
Celibacy and abstinence ;
Contraception use ;
Emergency contraception use ;
Abortion, for the first two trimesters of pregnancy ; and
Childbirth.
In the United States, the pro-choice position is perceived as "pro-abortion." In China, where abortion is sometimes required by law, the pro-choice position would be perceived as "anti-abortion." The purpose of the pro-choice movement is to ensure that all choices remain legal.
