That´s not correct. In many countries birth control is not a choice.

It's not about depriving fetuses of their rights. It's just the simple reality that a fetus is not able to choose anything whatsoever. If an abortion does not take place, it's not because the fetus "chooses" to live.

In mine---anti-life--the baby's dead afterward.

Yes. But the term anti-life suggests that abortion-rights supporters are against life in general. They're not. Whereas "anti-choice" is accurate; abortion opponents ARE against choice in general. They don't want individuals to be allowed to choose in this matter.
I like "abortion-rights supporters" and "abortion opponents," myself.

My God, Crayons - what a terrible tale. Thank you for posting it though.
All that pain, worry, sorrow and medical physical risk during days and weeks because doctors and hospitals are not trained and /or are afraid to provide the best,less risky and most sensible care for women, thanks to anti-choice, moralistic, misogynistic policies. It's horrifying. I hope we'll be able to stem that tide over here.
I am amazed at that woman's tenacity and courage in wanting another baby after going through all that. If it were me, I'd probably have run screaming if my husband tried to come closer than 2 metres from me. Or, more likely, I'd never ever have gone off the pill again.

A woman can (if you´ll let her, that is)

So you are against innocents having any rights.

ok, this is getting redicilous...
But sure, I´ll answer. Am I against innocents (who ever that it is you include in that little group) having rights? No, not at all.
