pro-choice

adjective prochoice

  1. Supportive of a person's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. When I defend my pro-choice position in the debate over abortion in our country, I frequently refer to Romania, where pregnancy could be monitored on behalf of the state, and to China, where it could be forcibly terminated.
  2. Supportive of a person's right to choose whether or not to end their life by euthanasia. These cases help create and sustain an essentially pro-choice regime, at least with respect to passive euthanasia and arguably with respect to physician-assisted suicide as well.
  3. Supportive in general of a person's right to choose; supportive of self-determination, bodily integrity, and individual sovereignty. Individualism, self-determination, and pro-choice rhetorics are additional cultural discourses that play into this experience as well: the ability to make your own choices in life and to be able to succeed with those choices is the quintessential American dream.
