We should really get rid of the term "pro-life", because the people with those beliefs are not pro-life. They're pro-birth. They don't care what happens to the children or the mothers after the birth has happened.

They aren’t pro-birth either, or they’d support things like paid family leave, etc.

These people are forced-birth

They're simply anti-abortion.

Annoyingly, they're often also opposed to any of the things that are known to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

They claim to be anti-abortion. In reality, many of their policies lead to increasing abortions: defunding education, defunding birth control, etc.
