Isn't that THE definition of cognitive dissonance?
Please advise.
Very simple. Some of us aren't PRO-LIFE. We're ANTI-ABORTION. In fact many of us believe that the innocent child growing in that woman's womb is about the only creature in the world that does deserve that sort of protection. Once that child is out of the womb, it is subject to the same potential to have its life ended by any number of unfortuante and unpleasant means as any other living thing.
"So what's the difference between the unborn infant and the child, or when it grows up, that adult?" you may ask.... Very simple again.... Innocence. That unborn child has done absolutely nothing wrong. In fact it hasn't made any decisions at all about its existance. However, once that child does come into the world, it very quickly loses that innocence. By the time it's 4-5 years old I can guarantee you that innocence is totally gone. At that point it is subject to the same forces of natural order that all of us are.
