They call themselves conservatives, but what are they trying to conserve? They say they want to protect the unborn. I guess once you're born, you're on your own. What's the virtue of worrying about protecting those who aren't here if you're not protecting those who are here?
The thing is, they don't actually want to protect the unborn either:

I have asked people who are against abortions why they don't ask the government to supply free birth control to men and women. The response is that they don't feel that they should be forced to pay for someone else's sexual choices. But if they want to save fetuses, it would make sense to prevent pregnancies in the first place. That is why I think that the abortion discussion is ultimately about sexual freedom and not about saving the lives of brainless mass of cells. Ultimately, they want women to feel afraid to have premarital sex.
Yes. They obviously do not care about fetuses, or they would be in favor of free prenatal care for pregnant women, and other such policies that would be beneficial to fetuses.
And:
Additionally, the nonsense about caring about a fertilized egg is proven to be pure bullshit by the fact that they never care that, naturally, fertilized eggs often do not implant in the uterus, and just are expelled from the body. If they really thought that it was a human life, they would want to do something about this fact. But it is so trivial to them, that they never so much as talk about it. (And if they claim ignorance of this fact, it shows that they really do not care about fertilized eggs; otherwise, they would take the trouble to learn something about the subject.)
The verbiage about caring about life is just a lie to cover the fact that they want to control women. You can know this because, in this, as is most other things, actions speak louder than words. Their actions show that they do not give a rat's ass about fertilized eggs or fetuses or children or life at all. Their actions tell us that they care about controlling women.
