?I FINALLY BELIEVE, IT IS THE WOMAN’S SOLE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.. [Poster chooses ZOT!]

Thanks for the link, I appreciate it. But I am somewhat confused ... I read and reread his post several times and it seems that all of the "choices" he cites explicitly are inputs (when, where, how, with who) rather than outputs (birth or abortion).

He later clarifies with the following (this is his only response on the thread, right?):

Of course I am not in anyway condoning abortion (murder), but I am a realist.. We are hamstrung by the laws that are on the books, and until the culture has reversed it’s opinion, the only way to halt the option is to hold them solely responsible for their own actions, and to slowly limit the methods that any other option to birth is lawful, and restricted.

So he does seem to be talking about mechanics here, not belief/ideology. In a scenario where abortion is the (current) law of the land, and knowing that changing the culture is a long-term process) the available options are to hold women responsible for their own actions (since, in his original post he makes the case that they are pretty much the ones in the driver's seat) and to slowly limit/restrict the current lawful options.

So, what am I missing here? I'm not trying to be an apologist or enabler for someone dumb enough to start pushing pro-choice/pro-abortion views here (whether due to a legitimate change of heart or to troll), but I just don't see any sort of pro-abortion sentiment being expressed here. Or even an output-side pro-choice one. At worse he's saying (inferred in his original post, explicitly stated in his second) that getting rid of abortion is a long-term process and Conservatives need to focus on chipping away at it (ie death of a thousand cuts) rather than looking for a silver bullet that will do it in one fell swoop.
