When you don't know what box to put someone in because they act different than you expect a person in said box to act.
What does a pro choice person care about? Let's say for the sake of my point here that it is simply women.
What does a pro life person care about? Stereotypically only the baby, not the mommy.
Pro lifers definitely deserve the stereotypes they have earned. There have been countless so-called pro lifers who have spent their time accusing or uncaringly arguing the facts with an opponent, indicating a lack of love for the woman who ultimately makes the decision to abort or keep her baby. I have made that mistake. I have unfeelingly argued without listening to the heart of the person I am talking with.
So, what if a new category of people were to emerge? A people who expressed care for both the baby and the woman? Then what box would onlookers put them in? They wouldn't know whether to call that person pro life or pro choice. And this would give them a voice among both populations.
