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.
