Keep in mind that antiabortion legislators and proponents most often are the only people who take a hard , no compromise stance on abortion . They ' re the ones who treat this as a black and white issue , stating that absolutely NO abortion is acceptable . On the prochoice side however , I ' ve yet to hear about a majority of people demanding the absolute right to an abortion , no matter what term the pregnancy is in . Prochoice supporters are flexible when it comes to the appropriate window to abort a pregnancy that ' s clearly defined by our current understanding of modern medicine , and they just simply want that window , and choice , to remain open for women to decide for themselves . Just keep that in mind when you fall into that my way trap .
