They consider fetuses to be people only because they were taught that by people who wanted to use it as a culture war issue to win power. Very few people believed such things before then. This plan was championed by Peter Weyrich, the co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, and Jerry Falwell, famed televangelist, because they wanted the power to have segregated religious schools.

You have to remember that pro-life people consider fetuses to be people. How many of your constituents would need to favor murdering babies for you to vote in favor if it?

If they consider fetuses people why don’t they invest in healthcare to protect the fetus? Why do they only seek to end procedures that would at least save the mother’s life?
