prolifers
Anti-termination movement members
Prolifers are people who oppose abortion, believing that human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection.
The term is a self-designation emphasizing advocacy for fetal life: Prolifers gathered outside the clinic.
Critics note the label implies opponents are "anti-life." The movement is closely associated with religious conservatism in American politics.
Also spelled pro-lifers.
