Apparently, We Need To Remind People That Pro-Choice Women Are Allowed To Have Babies

Chelsea Clinton is pregnant, and some anti-abortion activists responded to the news Thursday by showing they don't understand what being "pro-choice" means: being able to choose to have a baby, or not.
Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said she and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are expecting their first child "later this year."
LifeNews didn't seem to understand Thursday how a woman who supports a person's decision to not have children could be excited about her pregnancy:
Abortion supporter Chelsea Clinton announced today that she’s pregnant — not with a fetus or clump of cells but with a “child.”
This is the same Chelsea Clinton who lamented last year that her grandmother didn’t have access to Planned Parenthood.
Responses on Twitter were in the same vein.

I love days like this when everyone recognizes a baby is a baby and not a fetus.

Oh, the benefits of being a liberal. You claim the high ground when it comes to caring for children even as you encourage those less fortunate than you to snuff the life out of their own kids.

It is funny how they label a pregnancy..when they want the pregnancy it's a baby...when they don't it's a fetus...

It's an intrusive tissue mass that can easily be fixed with a simple medical procedure. Young girls with boyfriends who might find abortion objectionable are instructed to tell their boyfriends that they did not have an abortion, but that they simply had some female complications that were fixed with a "menstrual extraction."

Depends who's belly it is in. Theirs - it's a baby. Anyone else's - it's a fetus.
