I don't use the term "pro life" because I think the arguments on that side don't take account of women's life and health

I think it generally best to use the terms the groups use to describe themselves unless they are blatantly off. The pro-life side might call the other side "anti-life". The pro-choice side might call the other side "anti-choice" but such labels are heavily biased and serve more as a putdown than a useful label. Yes the pro-life's sides specific concern here is about life in a specific form, not all life in all situations. But the pro-choice side is also concerned about a specific choice in a specific situation, not all possible choices.
