They don't realize that they are really pro-choice with that question.
For myself, I would welcome a baby, especially at this time in my life and having some difficulty in doing so, as a gift... On the other hand, I'm not sure I would keep a rapists baby (would opt for Plan B immediately before there was a chance). If the baby had a major defect or was an eptopic pregnancy or some other sort of problem, I would want a safe and practical Dr performing an abortion.
So, I'm smart enough to anwer the question as a "big picture question" and not "how do I feel personally about my choices" when a survey is issued.. I don't think some people think past themselves... Yet they still think of it as their "choice".
If we had a good delivery system of medicine and education and help for those who do happen to want to keep a baby, but are in a tight spot, then we would have people making decisions for themselves without outside influence of economics, age, and stigmatism.
