Morphology

pro-choice + faction

The meaning 'a group that supports the right to choose abortion' is directly and compositionally derived from 'pro-choice' (supporting choice) + 'faction' (a subgroup), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE. This follows a standard adjective + noun pattern and is cross-linguistically common, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Pro-choice faction comes from political talk: pro-choice means 'for the right to choose whether to have an abortion' and faction means 'a smaller group inside a party'. So a pro-choice faction is a group within a party that supports that right.
