How is pro choice a stupid term? You are literally arguing that the government shouldn't get involved in someone's medical care, that they should be allowed to make their own choices rather than having the decision forced on them by the court.

The only reason i can see you saying this is that you are angry and have found a group to other. Perhaps you should do some meditation or smoke a joint or whatever to relax, and stop directing your anger at people advocating for a position you agree with.

"Choice" implies that abortion is some optional activity, directly supporting this red team narrative of convenience. Putting the focus on individual choice carries little weight with collectivists/conservatives, especially when there is an imagined second person involved. Meanwhile from someone in the position of needing a medically necessary or medically prudent abortion, the situation is anything but a choice.

The politickers have chosen the strongest statement to rally their own group around, but what it has actually done is create a potent straw man for opposition to rally around.
