phil beat me too it the problem is semantic.
the terms anti-abortion and pro-abortion rights strike me as being fair.
"pro abortion rights" implies the existence of abortion "rights", which the antiabortion folks do not concede exist. "pro abortion choice" is a better term.
I see where you are coming from but I am afraid it would just collapse to pro-choice in usage.
pro-abortion rights as in they are "for a right to have an abortion".
just like pro emigrant rights or pro Gay rights.
Language always fails but it is better than the pro-life pro-choice nonsense.
where each side begs the question.
