I have known, met, and talked to people who sincerely believe abortion at any stage of gestation, or even preventing a fertilized ovum from implanting in the uterus is, well, murder. Talking to them is trippy, because they are so passionate about their belief that every clump of cells us a "person" with a "right to life."

Politicians are a different kettle of fish. I suspect most of the politicians who make these laws are just doing it to score points with their constituents, but they wouldn't bother if they didn't know there were points there to be scored (i.e., voters who strongly object to abortion being legal).
