It's totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.
I found this article, "States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality", but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

If you want an actual "answer", some christians believe the following:

Healthcare:
Many believe that illness and failure are reflections of sin at worst, or simply god's tests at Best.
As before, lack of money for healthcare is attributed to a lack of alignment with God, as if he intended for you to get that healthcare, you would.
So the conclusion of this delusional mindset is that children must be given the chance at baptism to get their soul on the way to heaven.
Adults need to align with God in their lifestyle and choices, else bad things will happen and it's all their fault. So when you see an adult failing, it's not like they didn't have a chance to get right with God!
Because this is Lemmy, be clear, I do not hold this position but was raised in Christianity.
Edit there are people that actually, truly believe a fetus killed by abortion is murder of the darkest sort: a murder that robs the soul's chance at heaven. That not only are you "killing", but you are killing in a very, very dark way.
Of those who actually believe this, I can't imagine any compromise being reached, ever. How do you compromise with "willfully casting a soul into eternal darkness?
Many fake Christians only approach this topic from a control standpoint: they want to dominate others through fear. But the real believers are on another planet.
I believe abortion is killing, but it only becomes murder by definition if abortion is outlawed. The literal definition is "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."
The fetus won't have cerebral cortex till +12 weeks; no consciousness. So it wouldn't be much different than killing a plant or bacteria. It's debated when it becomes a human.
Yes, I justify murder as it will likely reduce the suffering. Thus, I am a monster in Christians eyes.
