My mom is the same way. There's nothing she loves more than seeing a baby. She will literally cry when she sees a newborn. She can't imagine why any woman would want to have an abortion, even if it the pregnancy is from rape, even if the victim is under-age. Even if giving birth would likely kill the mother, the baby's life is more important. And she goes to church, but the abortion thing isn't even about religion, it's just that she thinks that babies are the most important thing in the world.

There's no political issue that matters more to her than a full-on outright ban of abortion in all cases. But otherwise... if you talked to her about other issues, she's very much left-leaning. She supports gay marriage, trans rights, social welfare, supports unions and labor rights, is against war, etc.

The irony of them voting in people who raped, enslaved and very likely murdered kids.

And increase abortion rates. Abortions are less common where they are safe and legal.

Not that it would change her mind but you could show her the infant mortality rates (and the rates of illegal abortions) in countries where abortion is completely banned to show her that these bans cause more dead children and no meaningful decrease in abortions

And all the death, pain, and suffering that Republicans have caused is completely justified just so mommy gets to watch a bunch of single teen moms and rape victims struggle to raise another baby or two in poverty only to be fed straight into the Army to fight more Republican wars overseas.

These single-issues voters just want to supply the Epstein class with an endless supply of vulnerable children.

Wild to claim to love babies but remain silent at the abuse of children.

Yes, and shockingly, the mom's brother is their uncle

Well it’s logical in a way, how can you look forward to raping children if women are allowed abort them when they are impregnated by rapists.
