This is an issue I have yet to see addressed by anyone who is anti-abortion.
If someone calls themselves "pro-life", that person would not want women to die from illegal abortions.
You'll never get a straight answer out of them because they prize an unborn fetus over a live person. Women are second class citizens who aren't able to make their own decisions about what is best for their body and their health.
It's only natural for the GOP to have become the defenders of the unborn because they're basically the only demographic that can't ask them for any other policy favors in return. Defend minorities, defend LGBT+ people, defend people of any religious persuasion and you will have to actually talk to them about what they want you to do before you get to be on stage with them using them as a political prop. But fetuses? What are they gonna do, issue you a cease and desist? Write an op ed? Nope. You can just say you have their interests at heart, and as soon as they're born say they don't get an opinion if they disagree with you.
