If they were pro-unborn, they'd be for good nutrition and for free health care for pregnant women who cannot afford them.

It's a made up word. And it implies the word that most often comes after: child. They want you to think a fetus is a child, just an unborn one. That's how they hack away at choice, by implying that abortion is the murder of an "unborn child." It's not.

Just like the word "pro-life" is made up. It implies that those who are for women's reproductive rights and health are against life, i.e. murderers. That's the only reason why it exists.

And those of the forced-birth crowd who care about all those precious babies only care about a certain race and a certain class of babies, as can be seen by all the other things they don't support.

They are absolutely full of shit in every way. Utterly delusional. But they've done a good job of defining the terms of the argument so I fear they are winning.
