Mr.GOP, Why is an unborn fetus more important than a matriarch?


Anyone up for a good discussion?  Here’s my start, visit CFI if you want to share.
Dear Mr. GOP,
Please explain why an unborn fetus is more important than the matriarch and foundation of my family and memories? 
Killing is a horrid thing, yet Mr. GOP justifies it under a thousand guises, pleading the sacred right to “self-defense”   It’s called justifiable homicide.   Why not label abortion, justifiable homicide? 
Where is your ethical and moral justification for making abortion the supreme sin of all?  (Yet, all the while dismissing as irrelevant our destroying untold thousands of living innocents and vibrant neighbors in other nations?) 
But that’s not enough, Mr. and Mrs. Republican then have this need to play God and invade a woman’s most privates and strip that woman of her rights to Self-Defense and Self-Determination. 
How do you ethically morally justify that? 
Why is a woman’s anguished abortion a worse sin than having our Made In USA weapons of mass destruction feeding escalating violence throughout the world? 
Where is your moral authority, and no, an ancient text and you having the hubristic conceit that you are in contact with the God Almighty, Creator of Light and Time, Life and Love, isn’t enough!  Read your Bible.  The actual God of life is BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING!  We’ve been making it all up as we’ve gone along. 
The GOP’s attitude towards woman is every bit as barbaric as Islamic’s horrendous viciousness towards their woman.  So I’m asking Mr. and Mrs GOP where do you get off?
{I also wonder why don’t liberals and progressives have more backbone and strive harder to stand up to these absolutists and wannabe totalitarians with thoughtful, yet firm, intellectual confrontation and education?}

We have a long convoluted, but quite interesting, dialogue going on in another thread and I thought it might be good for me to try and summarize the most important points, from my perspective.
Let the conversation continue.   :- )

I absolutely agree with your logic here. However, remember that the GOP's opposition to abortion is merely a ruse to suck support out of the religious [self]right[eous], when their actual agenda is to gain more profit for their real constituents, the tiny minority of super-rich. All of their "cultural" positions serve the same purpose: anti-immigration, anti-LGBTQ, etc. They actually are mired in contempt for everyone who is not super-rich, but they pander to the most intolerant and ignorant sectors of the electorate. It is not a long-term winning strategy, thank heaven, but they'll do anything to cling to power, including massive electoral cheating.
