Some additional information that might be helpful when dealing with a "pro-life" anti vaxer is that pregnant women who get Covid are more likely to suffer miscarriage or stillbirth.

Also some pregnant women become critically ill, and the babies have to be delivered prematurely, and spend time in the NICU without the comfort of their mother's presence, or may end up with no mother at all.

Is putting pregnant women and their fetuses at that kind of risk really consistent with her pro-life beliefs? She could be the direct cause of a fetus dying.

Just something else for her to think about.
