That's the difference between big "D" and little "d". The Democrats picked a name that has other meanings, one of which is, indeed, the idea of "social equality." The reference is to "social democracy" -- in which a socialist government is established through democratic means.

I guess republicans don't believe in equality of any kind.

I'm pretty sure you don't believe in social equality. You probably believe in equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

Pro-life refers you to the definition of anti-abortion and gives no other definition for it, while Pro-choice is defined as, "favoring the legalization of abortion" and doesn't refer you to the definition of pro-abortion.

That would be because "pro-choice" doesn't mean "pro-abortion." Just like "agnostic" doesn't mean "atheist" or "antireligion."
Particularly if viewed through a partisan glass. You consider it a slight that the definition for "republican" doesn't include a concept that you oppose.
