What does Pro-Life mean?

I will preface this by saying that I am staunchly pro-choice and this is not an unbiased opinion. But this is what I have gathered from years of paying attention to what the population of pro-lifers have been saying. (This is primarily based off the platform that what most Republican candidates run on).

What does pro life mean?
It doesn't mean caring about the elderly
Because they don't care about social security
But they do care about pro life
And they don't care about orphanages or a foster care system that does not work
Because we don't want to aid single mothers who are struggling for an income
But they do care about pro life
They don't care about beggars on the street who don't have enough food to eat
Because they constantly talk about cutting welfare
But they do care about pro life
So what does pro life mean?
Does it mean that we only care about unborn life?
Once you've popped out of the uterus we are not responsible for you because you have become an actual human that is just leeching off society. No more aid for you. No more social care systems. Who needs to be socially responsible? Clearly not us.
Maybe I'm just starting to understand, pro-life means not actually being responsible for anything except interfering in the decision as to whether a woman is able to provide for her child or not. But I thought those same pro-lifers hated big government, so why is it ok to let big brother in on this instance? It's nice to have these rules be completely situational, isn't it?
