A lot of people who would consider themselves pro-choice, or friendly to the evironment, are woefully uninformed about what's really going on in the world.

They take administation reports of pollution reduction at face value, and don't see any serious attacks on Roe v Wade coming out of the WH, so they feel comfortable with not much positive change in exchange for the big daddy who will "stop the terraists that are trying to kill us and destroy freedom."

I think a lot of people who would identify themselves as progressive or liberal think that trees are nice, and poor people should have food, and racism is bad and don't think any more about what's going on other than what they are being spoon fed from the politicos and the media.
