Well obviously if she did wish to abort, she chose not to. The flaw is the presumption that because your mother didn't abort, she was pro-life.
This is a common misconception held by enemies of personal freedom. The act of bearing a child does not inherently mean the mother advocates for the elimination of personal freedom. Pro-choice people choose to have children all the time. My mother is/was pro-choice.
The bearer of that bumper sticker was confusing pro-choice with pro-abortion. Only pro-abortion stands for the premature termination of all pregnancies. Pro-life stands for the forced completion of all pregancies, and pro-choice is all about the options, baby.
