All of those things affect fetal development. These people are not pro-anything, they're simply anti-choice. It is literally about denying women autonomy and nothing more than that.

And you're right. It's all about controlling women. It has exactly jack shit to do with "babies" or children.

medical care, and protection from toxins in the environment. The anti-choicers are against providing any of these things. They do not care one whit about birth, it's literally about punishing women and denying their basic humanity, which includes bodily autonomy.

Actually, simply coming out of vaginas seems to spoil all interest for forced birthers.

Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn’t want to fuck in the first place, huh? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.

had a way of getting to a point, and I would LOVE to see some "pro lifer(s)" try to refute anything he said.

"Pro Lifers", just try to explain so the rest of us can understand it, WHY pre-borns (who will never know they weren't born anyway) are more precious than kids who are already born and will FEEL the suffering life could hit them with over the head.

The political forces that exploit anti-abortion sentiment will keep quiet until there is a Zika Vaccine---otherwise they risk the kind of massive push to legalize that we saw with the rubella outbreak in the 1960s. All it will take is a few microcephalic babies with mothers crying "I would have had an abortion if only they were available in my state" to roll back all the so called "progress" Right to Life has made in keeping female workers uneducated and underpaid due to unintended pregnancy.
