The lie that is pedaled all across this country on a daily basis by Republicans that they are pro-life was/is simply not true.
Nice straw man you have there.
What does "pro life" mean?
The Republican party defined it, because they are anti-abortion.
Funny how you want to talk a bout a term you apparently don't understand.
"Pro-life" describes a political and philosophical position that seeks to restrict abortions, especially abortions on demand when there is no medical necessity for the mother or the baby.
How does that in any way relate to the example you trotted out in the OP?
"Seeking to restrict abortions" is a loaded phrase without a meaning, because the anti-abortion crowd wants to eliminate abortions altogether. In the end, that isn't a position. It just ends up being nonsensical to those who already know it is.
The simple fact that an individual can decide what is "on demand" or not, or even believes he or she is morally in a position to decide, on its face is totally ludicrous. It's as ludicrous to propose being pro-life, then suddenly posses the moral high ground as to who gets medical treatment or not in a life threatening situation.
You get to decide who gets an abortion based on your moral expertise, while simultaneously getting to decide who lives or dies after birth. LOL! Damn if you aren't one fucked up ... .. . ......
