Or maybe they "care" about fetuses because it is the cheapest politics there is. Caring for fetuses costs politicians nothing: it costs a politician nothing to force someone to bring the pregnancy to full term; politicians don't have to think up some financial plans or put aside any money for fetuses because the fetus lives inside the woman's body.
And the "best" part of this "pro-life" politics is that they can hide their own political incompetence, greed, and other criminal deeds behind it - all they have to do is talk about abortions, accuse democrats that they are against life and they can get very creative like comparing abortions to the holocaust. And when they come to power they can rob people blind as long as they yell about abortions all the time and how there would be a holocaust of the unborn if they were not in power.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
