Well, in theory at least, it is arguably better to be "pro-choice" than "pro-abortion". You can support a person's right to make a decision that you would never make yourself, etc., etc. So the hamburger analogy falls down here, because burger joints have an active interest in selling more and more burgers, whereas pro-choice groups have no interest in causing more and more abortions; their only interest is in allowing people to buy burgers if they want to, but they'd be just as happy if people bought salads instead. It's the whole "safe, legal and rare" thing that Bill Clinton espoused; though maybe "rare" isn't the best word to use when discussing burger analogies. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
