Interestingly enough, I know a little about this topic in a legitimate way, and not just talking out of my ass like usual.
Pro-life took their moniker because the more apt description for their movement, anti-abortion, is not as good. Using anti as a prefix for a name for a movement like that is bad marketing and propaganda.
On the other side, pro-choice is chosen because they are for the choice being available for an abortion. Using pro-abortion doesn't work and would drive away people because the majority of people that are pro-choice find abortion to be something they morally oppose on a personal level. The vast majority also draw a line somewhere. So calling them pro-abortion does not reflect the actual position of this side of the debate and is just propagandic.
Both sides chose their names because they reflect liberty and freedom in their wording and paint the other side as anti-life or anti-choice just by their mere opposition. The names are all marketing, nothing more. Especially when you consider the large variety of stances contained within both sides.
