Apologies for being straightforward, but emotional hyperbole like this does not help anything.
Did you ever just stop to consider that in their belief system they believe that a child in a womb is a living being, and not just a clump of cells, and that they see it as murder to abort it?
Not saying that’s true or not, just that’s how they see it. And if you want to change their minds, you need to attack that philosophy, and not just brand them as cruel persons to be shunned/destroyed.
Finally, I get you’re going to want to just attack me personally for calling you out on the hyperbole, but please, consider the words I’ve said here. I’m not just saying that for my own gratification, but hopefully to help you help change the world.
I reject the premise that being pro-life is about a moral conviction regarding the sanctity of life. If that is in fact the moral underpinning that informs the pro-life position, then we would expect to see a similar consistency with regard to all other issues relating to the protection of human life, but we don’t.
What it’s really about is controlling women and maintaining a hierarchy by ensuring that sex without reproductive consequences is impossible.
Pro-lifers tell themselves that it’s about the sanctity of life because by the rules of cognitive dissonance they have to rationalize a way to see themselves as the good guys, but again, all of that is belied by the fact that they don’t seem to believe in the primacy of human life in any other context.
Unfortunately, this kind of cognitive trick is a very human and very common thing. We all do it to one extent or another.

You can disagree with it, but you can’t dictate another person’s belief system, or hand-wave it away.
I dunno they seem pretty capable
Well, they can try, but it doesn’t make it so.
