pro-death
Supporting lethal outcomes
Pro-death describes a position favoring death in some context—often as a polemical label rather than a self-description.
Opponents of abortion rights may call pro-choice advocates pro-death.
The term also appears in debates about capital punishment, euthanasia, or end-of-life care: The politician's pro-death stance on execution cost him votes.
It's the rhetorical inverse of pro-life.
