A lot of the folks who call themselves "pro-life" turn out to be infavor of execution and the war, and not in favor of social policies I would describe as pro-life, such as universal health care and other social safety nets.
I have come across pro-choice liberals who act actively anti-birth - usually as an environmental/over population concern. I have heard members of my mother-in-law's Unitarian church deliver terrible vindictive against anyone with a large family (even though these larger families often live fairly lightly on the planet, compared to single-child or no-child families with lots of disposable income) and at least 3 of them gave me crap about having a 3rd child. Pro-choice should be pro-whatever-choice, and the fact is that in every developed country where women have a real choice the birth rate hovers right at or slightly below the population replacement rate - those who choose to have one or none more than balance those who have 3 or 7 or 12.
