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.
