People who support the right to abortion often say “anti-choice”; people who oppose abortion almost never call themselves that — they usually say “pro-life.” The other side says “pro-choice.” So the word already picks a team: it talks about the fight as “choice” versus “against choice,” not as “life” versus “not life.” You will see it in US and international debate, in newspapers and on signs.
