Good points. You've pointed out why nobody should be anti-choice. To truly be pro-life you have to be pro-choice.
So being "pro-life" is at best just a hypocritical political position ?
What the mass media means by that term is a hypocritical or at least inconsistent political position. You have to support the right to life of more than just the unborn to be truly pro-life.

Scott was charged with two murders because two humans had been killed.
The unborn have a right to life even before viability. That is something that the left should acknowledge.
The SC decision says otherwise. Two people here would not call me pro choice because I don't give a blanket all is on or all is off. You are not taking away choice as for 20 weeks you can decide what you want to do and I'm speaking of healthy fetuses. There is the morning after pill, you don't even need an Rx. Get a stick from the pharmacy, it tells you within a week and hopefully one is aware when they have unprotected sex....on the other hand, there is no reason allow persons more time unless it is a medical decision. A healthy baby delivered is not called an abortion either, you go through labour and delivery. Up to 3 months gestation it is a D&C, 4-5 months, it is a D&E I am sure most of you are familiar with newborns, anyone one up for destroying as you are looking at it, hearing it, what is now a healthy baby cause someone took 6- 7-9 months to make a decision? Raise your hands.
Roe v Wade didn't mention a right to life of the unborn before viability or even after but it did rule that the state had a right to act to protect the unborn within the limits set in the ruling, which certainly implies a right to life of the unborn.

What about when more big government control advocates call themselves "pro-life" ?

It sure did. "A person may choose to have an abortion until a fetus becomes viable based on the right to privacy contained in the Due Process Clause of the 14th amendment. "Viability means the ability to live outside the womb which usually happens 24-28 weeks after conception." 410 US 113 (1973) Not only do some want a reserve decision but there is a huge crowd to change the viability as I see banning abortions in this century fairly impossible. The viability will be easy to change. 70% of fetuses at 25 weeks are survivors, 90% at 26-27 weeks and 40% at 24 weeks. There is going to be your argument.

The same thing is true.

As we've discussed, the right to privacy is not what Roe v Wade was based on. It's mentioned in Roe v Wade but not really the basis for the decision.
Viability is not as important as you seem to believe it is either. Roe v Wade was based on other considerations including changing levels of risk to the pregnant woman and the right of the state to intercede to protect the life of the unborn baby regardless of its viability.

Re: What does being pro-life really mean?
According to those who made the final decision, it soley is based on the 14th amendment, viability is where the line was drawn. You are choosing to ignore the text.

I'm not ignoring any of the text. What I find most interesting about that legal decision and its aftermath is that one of the more important considerations mentioned in the decision has been largely ignored by the mass media and commenters who have been critical of it. It was a legal decision designed to protect the rights of women that was not fundamentally based on their right to privacy or the viability of the unborn baby. The 14th amendment naturally applies since women have the same rights that men have under the law.

Then you are misinterpreting the text or they lied, those which you think aren't, are.
