Pro-life a LOT more than being against abortion.

When repukes say "pro-life", they mean that they want to criminalize abortion for the express purpose of punishing women for sexual behavior men can enjoy with impunity. In other words, it's a sexist dog whistle.

When Democrats say "pro-life", we mean all life--not just pro-birth.
