Let's review the sources for this question, since you wish to misrepresent them. Prior has said that the labels "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are "outdated."

She can seem to side with a "pro-life" side and even call herself "pro-life" but then adds that this, for her, has a different definition: an umbrella term for a stand for gun control and against racism and the Trump presidency, among other typically liberal or progressive views.

The more her views are examined the tricker she can seem. In a 2015 editorial she opposes calling women “murderers” after they get abortions, and indeed says it is “unchristlike” to do so. It is unclear that she views abortion as a death, the core pro-life claim.

She is often read, among Evangelicals, as pro-abortion. Note comments in the 2022 Washington Post profile, i.e. "You’re complicit in the deaths of millions.”
