The two aren't mutually exclusive. Everyone is pro life. We just draw different lines in the sand with regard to exactly what life is and when it starts.
Those who define it as DNA must be exclusively pro life no matter what. Those who define it as a thinking, feeling being or as a viable organism draw it somewhere else.
Nobody here is condoning ending a human life. They just don't think a small bundle of cells IS human life.
The so called "pro-life" fraction have positioned itself, probably intentionally, into the rhetorical trap which precludes embracing any possibility of choice. So regardless of whether one thinks abortion is a good or bad choice, so long as one think that choice should be available under any circumstance whatsoever, one would fall outside the cynically self-styled "pro life" camp.
