Pro-life is a term adopted by a variety of movements focusing on bioethics issues. It can be used to indicate opposition to practices such as euthanasia, human cloning, embryonic human stem-cell research and the death penalty, but most commonly (especially in the media and popular discourse) to abortion. The term describes the political and ethical view which maintains that all human beings have the right to life, and that this includes fetuses and embryos.
Many "pro-life" individuals believe that personhood begins at fertilisation rather than at birth or at some point in-between. From that viewpoint, any action which destroys an embryo kills a human being. Any purposeful destruction is considered ethically and morally wrong. Such an act is not considered to be mitigated by any benefits to others through scientific advancement or, in the case of abortion, by ending the hardship of a woman with an unwanted pregnancy, as such benefits come at the expense of the life of what they consider a person. Euthanasia and assisted suicide are also opposed by some pro-life people based on a belief that life is sacred and must be protected even against the wishes of a person who wants to end their own life.
"Pro-life" abortion opponents are frequently in opposition to birth control and consider it a form of "chemical abortion". *
