At my paper, the style is "anti-abortion" for the self-described
"pro-lifers," "pro-abortion rights" for the self-described
"pro-choicers," the reason being that the issue is abortion rights, not
"life" or "choice," which are loaded, partisan words. 

I suppose we could write "anti-abortion rights," but that would imply
that there are people on the pro-life side who don't mind the concept of
abortion but don't want anyone to be able to get one.
