"Pro-life" also only means exactly that.

No. Even at the most naiv level it means at least: "I oppose the right for people to let an abortion be performed on them."

That's way different.

The entire point is the disparity between the literal definition of the label and the actual ideology. "Pro-life" means favoring life. That is what the words literally mean.

Calling your group the Good Guys Club and your opponents the Bad Guys Club doesn't make it true. I repeat:

What matters is what they do, not what they call themselves. Sometimes, the self-label is accurate, but sometimes it’s not, and ultimately, the label is irrelevant.
