I have to ask. You think pro-choicer's are in denial?
Not really. I think they have a very valid stance, and the legal system apparently agrees with them.
I do think that being a pro-choicer is much more difficult than being a pro-lifer. On one hand you have the right to choice, liberties that are a staple of the U.S. as a nation, and we take those rights seriously. On the other hand you have a nagging sense of doubt since, as others have said, if the verdict on the humanity of the fetus is hung, it would be best to err on the side of caution.
It's not denial, but it is a fairly severe crisis of morality. A true pro-choicer simply has to pick which stance is more important, and since the jury's still deliberating on the humanity of the fetus, they choose the sure thing which is a woman's right to choose.
