There are three reasons why pro-life is such an unpopular position, even in red states, that most people are too polite to say out loud, but which make a helluva lot more sense than the explicitly stated reasons for being pro-abortion.
-
Most people are absolutely terrified of the prospect of not being able to abort a cripple or retard baby. Throughout most of history, outright infanticide was often used to dispense with such profoundly burdensome people. And tbf, people can barely afford to raise a normal child in our dysfunctional economy, nvm a child who will never really "grow up," will always be as tedious to attend to as a toddler in terms of having to protect them from themselves, to say nothing of the medical costs.

The nigger population would explode. No matter how much groid worship Baizuo engage in, no matter how much public self-effacing bullshit and BLM signs they put up, etc, even shitlibs are absolutely terrified of this happening. Hell, functional blacks are terrified of this as well.

Only a complete degenerate would have an abortion of convenience, rather than of necessity. So why in the world do you want trash like that to reproduce, and to raise kids? They're only gonna resent and often abuse any kids they're forced to have, because kids to these people = no more fun.
You don't have to like it, or agree with it, but this is the subtext behind why pro-life is such an uphill battle electorally. Moreover, even if it is killing babies, most people don't actually have a principled stance against infanticide - sure, it's unpleasant, nobody wants to see it, but history and even third world countries today attest to the fact that a principled opposition to infanticide is a luxury belief.
Even a principled opposition to homicide is a luxury belief, as there are plenty of contexts where we're willing to kill people, even civilians. It's just that you can't have a functioning society where people are allowed to kill each other, whereas you can have a functioning society where people are allowed to kill their babies.
Children are a renewable resource. Adult humans have invested value.
Abortion makes perfect sense. Crime goes down, happiness goes up.
Only the sky wizard crowd has an issue with abortion because their silly book tells them they have to. Which makes sense - as a grifter writing rules for my victims, I want them to have as many children as possible. My cult has more power with more members. But for everyone else it isn't a practical idea.
I have no problem killing a cow for a nice steak. There is no reason killing a non-viable zygote so the adult can make their own choices isn't also acceptable. Life is not 'precious'. Life is a effect of infinite complexity in a universe where causality is maintained.
But abortion is the uniparties most loved wedge issue. Instead of just letting people do what they want the moral police have to step in and try to force their degeneracy. Just like the troons. If you get angry over this issue, take a step back a look at what else you are being controlled by.
