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:

To this date, it is the only Unborn Lives Matter flag with verified use.

Police Lives Matter

[Police Lives Matter Flag] image by Tomislav Todorovic, 24 January 2021

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.
