A Woman's Right to Choose has been Stigmatized by the Pro-Life Movement

To the Editor: As a representative of the newly re-established Dartmouth Students for Choice group, I feel compelled to respond to Ellen Wight '97's column "Being Pro-choice and Anti-Abortion" [The Dartmouth, May 3]. I find it very unfortunate that somehow the term pro-choice has come to mean pro-death or pro-abortion in the minds of some of the "lost middle of Americans" that Wight refers to in her column, as the assumed antithesis of the term "pro-life." This has never been the case; the pro-choice movement has never advocated making abortion more widespread or less ethically serious.
