"pro-life" is a disengenuous term in the first place. That side grabbed the label to designate one single issue- when it comes to capital punishment, for instance, they've never heard of the term. Not to mention the life-sustaining social programs that many people who do not use the term to describe their own beliefs work assiduously for. There are 'pro-life' advocates whose mantra is bootstrap economics ("If I made it, so can they")and who consider gliving a helping hand a sign of weakness.
