Re: Focus on Family asks abortion-rights advocates to help make abortion less common

As I said, some pro choice groups sure do try and talk you into that 'hamburger'
a lot.

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.
