69. Choice ONLY matters when it comes to abortion. Schools, Where to drink, etc, need to be controlled
For me, pro-choice is more than one issue - it is a broader ideal that really believes 'Your body, your choice'. You won't find many who truly believe such a thing though.

You don't need, should not have, choices - if you make ones that others do not like.

I home school - because I can and that choice is best for my daughter. Some don't think I should be able to.

I don't own a gun, or have a CC permit. But my dad does, and some think he should not have such a choice.

I choose, when I used to be able to go out and have a few drinks, to go to a bar that allowed smoking. Some believe that allowing businesses and people to make such choices is bad and they need to make those choices for them.

My sister had a choice to home school her kids, and did so. But others will rail against such choices. They want to tell her and her family how to live their lives.

Pro-choice - it has a core value and it shocks me often that people who claim to be pro-choice really are not.
