    Because “pro-life” is not describing their position. They are not even “pro-fetus-life”. They are not taking any action to avoid accidental miscarriage in women, no educative program in this sense or collective action like distributing prenatal vitamins.

    No, the only way to describe their position is “anti-abortion”. They are not pro anything, they are anti.

      abortion
      Use pro-choice, not pro-abortion; and use anti-abortion, not pro-life. Anti-choice can be used when talking about opposition to all reproductive rights, including abortion, birth control, family planning etc.

        Doesn’t matter because only religion is used in every argument for anti choice. The real issue is the inability for conservatives to separate bullshit religion from their policies.
