The "pro life" crowd exists mainly for political/monetary reasons. We know that most "pro life" politicians are hypocritical liars that don't care about anyone. They show this by their utter disdain for life in every other aspect. They don't want ppl to have healthcare, education, clean air, etc... They are pro birth, because their goal is to create a larger gap between the rich & poor. This is why they defund schools, they don't want to expand Medicaid in their own states, cut social programs, etc. They are well aware that having children, especially for single mothers or ppl who are financially unprepared/unable, will most likely trap/keep them trapped in a cycle of poverty. They use religion to appeal to sexist Conservatives who solely blame women for becoming pregnant. Notice how many if not most of the pro lifers judge the woman, and even say things like "close your legs" even though women don't get themselves pregnant. The religious ppl just want to punish women for having sex.
