I agree that there's a difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion. But, nobody owns the name. I can call myself pro-choice, yet believe the choice should be made before conception. IMO, the people who weren't for Laci's Law are pro-abortion. You see, they were not willing to stand up and protect the choice of the woman who chose to have her baby.
Recently, in Houston, a man stabbed his wife and unborn baby. The baby ultimately died after birth of stab wounds and prematurity. The mother lived. The man knew what he was doing. He was trying to kill TWO people. He is (rightfully IMO) eligible for the death penalty though he probably won't get it. An attempted murder charge does not fit this situation. It leaves the fetus/baby out of equation.
