This flag was seen at a rally in Newberg, Oregon which took place on
2021-09-26. So far, this is the only verified example of its use.

Another version of the flag is derived from the most widespread version of
the Black Lives Matter flag by simply replacing the
word BLACK with the word UNBORN. While its photos can mostly be found at the
online shops which sell it, such as here:

and here:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/862903276/unborn-lives-matter-flag-free-shipping
its use is verified as well, by a photo taken at the pro-Trump rally held in
Terre Haute, Indiana on 2020-10-03. The news report containing the photo can be
found here:
https://www.isustudentmedia.com/indiana_statesman/news/article_71254874-0768-11eb-88e7-cb97e0b3591c.html
To this date, it is the only Unborn Lives Matter flag with verified use.

At a rally in support of the police which took place in Baltimore on
2015-05-30, a variant of Thin Blue Line flag was used which was charged with the
inscription BLUE LIVES MATTER in white, first two words inscribed on top black
field and the third word upon bottom black field, both rows of the text set
closer to the blue field than to the horizontal edges of the flag. This closely
resembles the flag with inscription POLICE LIVES MATTER,
obviously referring to the same rally. That might mean that either there were
two different flags at the rally, or the first report was not quite correct and
the flag actually bore the word BLUE which, not being completely visible, was
mistaken for the word POLICE. Which of these is true, is yet to be verified.
