I saw the actress Busy Phillips on tv the other night as she bravely shared her abortion story, and it really struck a chord when she used the term "anti-choice" to describe the other side. That is what we need to name these people - they label us pro-abortion not pro-choice and it is time we call them out for exactly what they are: Anti-Choice.

"choice" is correct in terms of describing the freedom the woman has (or legally should have) but it's not very specific and as such, lacks the emotive punch of a words like slavery or life.
maybe if we're going to emphasis the choice, then "anti-freedom" might work better. similarly not very specific, but at least it has punch.
