They're just being hypocrites on purpose. Anyone with half a brain identifies the zygote/fetus/baby has a completely different DNA to the mother, and is not only alive, but thriving in the environment it's supposed to be in (a womb, duh).
To say that the destruction of such a creature is anything but murder is nonsense, by their logic you could punch some endangered pregnant animal in the gut and it wouldn't be much of a crime.
Someone made an analogy the other day that I really like:
Say you had a pinata with $100 in it, and you gave someone a bat and asked them to demolish the pinata and keep the money, they would likely do so with no hesitation.
Now tell them there's a 50/50 chance the pinata also has a kitten in it. Most people wouldn't destroy the pinata because the chance of crushing and killing a kitten isn't worth it for most people.
The pro-lifers are those who either know there's a kitten inside OR admit they're not sure and aren't willing to take the risk just to be safe. The rabid pro-choicers are those who don't know if there's a kitten inside but keep telling themselves and others that there's not in order to justify destroying the pinata for the $100.
The Left are those people who value the $100 (their own personal convenience) so highly, that they're willing to risk killing the kitten (human baby).

Basically, they're sociopaths.
