As a general rule, try to imagine that the people who disagree with you generally *really do believe* the things they say they believe, and then don't try to persuade them with arguments that would parse to *anything like* "not killing babies is super bad for the bottom line."

From a purely strategic POV, you've now made it impossible for any politician with a firmly pro-life base to do anything that might even just *look* like giving you what you want, because your message is not just wrong but decidedly evil to these people
