I'm more interested in whether there is anyone out there who actually thinks that human life starts at birth and that a woman's right to choose extends right up to that point. Because this is one of the bogeymen that the radical anti-choice people seem to raise very often, but I have never met any such person.
Everyone who I have ever met on the pro-choice side, including myself, believes there should be some restrictions on abortions. However, I do wonder whether, as a rhetorical tool or as a political position, some pro-choice advocates end up taking the 'unrestricted' point of view out of fear that any concession will lead to full re-criminalization (or at least, to the withdrawal of funding for abortion).
