I just don't prefer to impose my will on other people. And before those words get contorted, being pro-choice is not imposing your will on others. You can argue that it is, but giving people a choice is not imposing something on them. They are still entitled to make whatever decision they want.

Here is where you either ignore or misunderstand the opposing viewpoint.  You say you don't want to impose your will on anyone.  I don't want that either.  In fact, most people don't.  This is what's known as a strawman argument.  Everyone agrees, yet you use it to bash the opposing viewpoint.

You say "giving people a choice is not imposing something on them."  Yet that choice is the murdering of a baby.  So you are asking me (and others) to logically and morally hold a position that while murder of a person outside the womb is not okay, murder of a person inside the womb is okay.  Obviously, I cannot accept such a position unless I accept that a pesron inside the womb is not a person at all.  Since that is illogical on its face, at least to me and many others, your argument just makes no sense at all unless you have already accepted your viewpoint.
