anti-abortionists
Pregnancy termination opponents
Anti-abortionists are people who oppose abortion and seek to restrict or prohibit it, typically on moral or religious grounds.
The term is roughly synonymous with pro-life, though anti-abortionist emphasizes opposition while pro-life emphasizes the movement's self-chosen framing: Anti-abortionists gathered outside the clinic.
Those who use the term often do so critically.
