It just seems like that distinction is made a lot here, yet they're homogeneous on Wikipedia.

The majority of the population doesn't care and Wikipedia tends to reflect the popular views. Pro-life used to mean pro-health care, free student lunch, etc, but converted over time to be largely (exclusively?) about abortions in the public conversation.
