No, because the idea of "choice" allows each individual to make their own decision for themselves. The idea that abortion is murder implies that everyone who has one is a murderer.

Isnt it true that any stance in a debate about something imposes a viewpoint
upon everyone else in that discussion? That is all I am referring to, not
forcing anyone to do anything.

Agreed. But that is only a portion of the anti crowd that acts that way.
There are just as many supporters of ab-rights that demonstrate as well.

John,
I have some difficulty following your logic here. You're saying that if I
say I support a woman's right to choose, it imposes a moral viewpoint on an
anti abortion supporter. How so, I'm not forcing her to have an abortion. I
am expressing my viewpoint only, not strapping her to a table and
performing a D & C. In contrast the efforts of anti abortion supporters DO
impose their moral viewpoint on those with whom they disagree. There is a
difference here.
One way of looking at it is one group wants simply to be left alone as they
go through a difficult time while the anti-abortion group wants and does
interfere with others.
