I'm pretty sure you don't believe in social equality. You probably believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.



That would be because "pro-choice" doesn't mean "pro-abortion." Just like "agnostic" doesn't mean "atheist" or "antireligion."



Particularly if viewed through a partisan glass. You consider it a slight that the definition for "republican" doesn't include a concept that you oppose.
