"Pregnant teen dies after an abortion ban delays her chemotherapy treatment for leukemia" 

From David Pakman

Since I couldn't find an official definition of what it means to be pro-life, that's not related to abortion, then I'll just have to give you my own. 

Someone who is pro-life, supports the right of every innocent American (or whatever the nationality) to live and exist and not be murdered. And yes, that can apply to abortion, but only if you believe that fetuses are people, or at the very least have the same right to life and exist as people, meaning someone who has already been born. 

From My Options: "Being pro-choice means supporting the notion that people are able to have agency over their lives, bodies, and choices. Having a child is a significant life event - and it is in everyone’s best interests that a potential parent is emotionally, financially, and physically prepared to do so." 

Yes, being pro-choice on abortion, also qualifies as being pro-choice. But if you are only pro-choice on abortion, you are only pro-choice on abortion. (Hopefully that's obvious enough) And even if you are also pro-choice on women's health care in general, but perhaps nothing else, then you are just pro-choice on women's rights as a whole. If you are pro-choice on women's health care, period, as well as all forms of sexuality, so now you are pro-choice on women's health care and sexuality. 

My point is, to be pro-choice, you have to be pro-choice. (Again, hopefully this is obvious enough) A lot of people, especially on the left-wing, who say they're pro-choice, are really just pro-choice on women's health care, including abortion and perhaps homosexuality, but are pro-state on so many other issues, including marijuana, just look at the Obama Administration. But are also pro-state on issues like gambling, pornography, education, and I''m sure other issues dealing with free speech in America. 

To get back to this abortion issue in Dominican: they do not have a pro-life bill on abortion in their country. They have an antiabortion bill instead. It's not just that the fetus died thanks to this bill, but the fetus's mother as well. So one innocent life for sure that was lost, as well as potential life that wasn't even given an opportunity to be born.
