Please everyone, stop using terms like "anti-abortion"

[RevStPatrick]

76. I was getting ready to say something along these lines...

I've had conversations similar to what the OP started off with, both here at DU and elsewhere.
And there's always someone who says "but yes, I AM pro-abortion. There are too many people on the planet, and we should encourage more abortions."

I don't think there's anyone who seeks to get pregnant simply so that they can have an abortion. Personally, I think it should be a somber decision, but there are those who do take it lightly. That's their choice.

I think the OP is off the mark when saying things like "Abortion is a terrible thing to live through, and no one, I repeat no one is 'pro-abortion'" and "The only acceptable terms are 'pro-choice' and 'anti-choice.'"

You just can't say things like that, particularly around here.
You don't get to decide how people feel about things, or how people get to say things.
There are people who DON'T feel abortion is a terrible thing to live through, and there are people who feel "pro-abortion" is appropriate. As you've found out on this thread.

And so it goes...
