Semantics; opposing the "choice" to kill your child and thus allow it to continue to develop and live is "pro-life."
We are not interested in enslaving women; rather we are opposed to the idea that not all humans are granted the most basic of human right - life - and that we can pick and choose what humans do and deserve rights based on their physical traits.
It's interesting you believe the pro-life stance is a religious one despite the number of atheists anti-abortionists - that's certainly a bit of a self taddle on atheism's inability to provide a moral framework, but the reality is that it is simply a pro-science, pro-life, pro-reason stance and nothing more.
Dehumanizing language is not becoming - those "microscopic clump of insentient cells" remain a human all the same - and I've know quite a few bad humans who engaged in the same language about groups they deemed inferior.
