Morphology

anti-choicer = anti-choice (semi-transparent) = anti + choice + er

The word is built transparently from anti-choice plus the agentive suffix -er, but the political meaning is somewhat specialized.

Etymology

The word anti-choicer starts with anti- meaning 'against' and uses choice meaning 'a decision', so an anti-choicer is a person who opposes the right to choose, especially regarding abortion.
