pro-lifer
Opposes terminating pregnancies
A pro-lifer is someone who opposes abortion, believing that human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection.
The term comes from the movement's self-description as "pro-life," though opponents often prefer "anti-abortion." Pro-lifers range from those seeking total bans to those allowing exceptions for rape, incest, or medical emergencies: Pro-lifers gathered outside the clinic.
