Another way of looking at it, especially from the point of view of the evangelicals, less so the Catholics. Is that. If you want to boost your public image, political standing and earn a reputation as moral crusaders, then the unborn are the perfect political choice. Since they are the only ethnic group that have no agenda of their own, and will never turn round on you and say. "No don't want that." And they are the only group you can make into victims and back who are not already supported by at least some of the hated liberals, forcing you to side with them.

The choice to support the, so called, rights of the unborn, may therefore be seen as a cynical political propagandists move, albeit a mostly unconscious one. "Why should the liberals get all the moral high ground, we want a share of that. Who can we champion ? What nobody wants us. Well who can we force ourselves on to then ?"
