From societal and Constitutional (USA) perspectives, I am pro-choice, in the sense that (i) a pregnant woman gets to choose whether to terminate her pregnancy or to complete it to term, and (ii) her choice is a decision protected by a right of privacy of which no one else has the right to inquire/know. However, the fetus' rights and societal rights overtake the mother's rights once the fetus is capable of surviving on its own (like full term offspring can survive) outside of the womb.
From a personal perspective, I am a male and cannot become pregnant. I do not believe I have standing to impose any personal beliefs upon such persons or situations. At that point, I have no position, which can easily be construed as remaining on the side of the mother's private decision, although that is not my position.
