The ugly truth is that the second you're born, conservatives don't give a fuck about you anymore. Their voting makes it clear that their "anti-abortion" stuff is far more about controlling women than it is about babies, because when they get a chance to help children who people actually wanted and are already born, they take a pass every time. Their "concern" is all bullshit.
Here's proof:

Notice anything?
That's what Republican policies get you... and yet these people keep voting the way they do because they think they're "saving babies." Yeah, like hell they are. It's all horseshit. If they ever looked at the factual data about damn near any of the results they get for anything - poverty or health care or education or amount of corruption or who takes the most federal aid, etc. -- then the Republican party would be fucking dead. But they never look at any of it. They just belieeeeeeve shit, repeat what they're told ("uranium! Benghazi!"), and I've determined, after decades of watching conservative states vote against their own interests, that they're never going to wise up. I'm not sure they have the acumen to do it anymore, frankly... they've turned the critical thinking muscles in their brain to mush through blind obedience for so long that they're lifting in ounces, not pounds. They're frustratingly in love with being stupid, and you waste your time even being nice about it anymore; all that buys you is a chance to listen to more delusional horseshit. The only thing you can do is wait for 'em to die off. Which they will, if the country survives long enough... which is what has creeps like Steve Bannon so panicked and desperate to burn it all down.
People are starting to wake up... but it's far too slow. Republicans will gut a whole lot of stuff before people wise up to what they're doing. Democrats aren't great, I don't love 'em, but the Republican party is not even remotely viable anymore for anything except a "white identitarian," or a Dominionist Jesus-hadi theocrat... and they don't care about actual results because they're too busy with the "next world" to worry about what happens in this one. Some of the more extreme liberal things annoy me, but given the choice between the two parties, if you're basing things on looking at actual results, it's not even a contest. The G.O.P. has nothing to offer.
And it's becoming more ridiculous all the time with this Trump thing. it's a cult more than a political party now. I get that they hate us -- because our side's done provably better work and there ain't nothin' a conservative with a nickel hates more than a Democrat with a dime -- but making a joke of yourself pretending an obvious con-man isn't a con-man just to "piss off the libtards" is just as stupid as hell. That's a helluva price tag for spite.
