I like to have choices. I like to pick my meal when we go out to eat. I like to pick which pair of grubby sweatpants I will lounge around in all day when it's cold and rainy. I like to pick what station to listen to on the radio. Those are all choices, and I like having them. But when people use the term "pro-choice," they're not talking about things like food, clothes, or music. They are talking about one thing, and one thing only -- abortion. So as we prepare to mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the court decision which legalized abortion in the US, if you start hearing people talk about "choice," ask them what the mean by that.
