I think it is just these two, as "pro" and "con" are actual words in the english dictionary.

If someone is pro-lifer, he is for life, one of the those who are against abortion. If someone is a con... erm... concubine? Con-artist? Concorde? Really can't remember any right now... But anyway, to be con-something is to be agaisnt it, as con is derivative of contra.

they are latin prefixes, like pre and post, used to give the above mentioned meanings to words. Pro and anti are also used, as in hunting.
