CMV: Conservative Evangelicals have sold out for the GOP. What they “stand for” and what they actually support are no longer the same.

Because anti abortion zealots don't actually care about helping unborn fetuses, they care about controlling women and keeping poor women of color trapped in the cycle of poverty. The "think of the children" argument by anti choice folks is a relatively recent one. Prior to the 1970s and Roe most anti abortion arguments focused around perceived risk to the mother's health and "protecting" women from those supposed risks. Once the science showed pretty strongly that abortion doesn't actually have any major health risks associated with it, they switched tactics and started bleating about the life of the fetus.

You can't win religiously motivated anti abortion people over with a logic based argument, because they have a different set of core beliefs about the role of women in society than you do.
