I think the terms are synonymous. But have different connotations.
When we say we hate pro-life people this sounds like we were anti-life equivalent to pro-death. I think this is why I prefer the term anti-choice. And I have the feeling some people on here use the lable pro-life as a weapon in debates and it more and more becomes a strawman or clichee for all the things some people don't like. But that's only my opinion/gut-feeling.
However, I think depending on the context I prefer to use the term pro-life in contrast to anti-choice. For example when there are people who worship life in the sense that they think no matter how much a person suffers it is impossible that a suicide can be rational. And for people who are still able to differentiate between opinions and facts maybe anti-choice is more appropriate.
But I am really not sure. But for people who are very extreme and go the described route (emphasizing on the value of life over human dignity in an extreme magnitude) I sometimes feel more comfortable to call them pro-life. I have not thought it through though.
If you want to express your reasoning please feel free to share it. Or if you think other terms are preferable.
The term should describe the people who want to shut down this forum, want to block assisted suicide under all circumstances, people who think suicide cannot be under no circumstances rational etc.
I go with anti-choice.
