This may or may not apply to your parents, but I have found that a LOT of folks who claim to really care about abortion really only use it as a way to avoid discussing the fact that they like a lot of what Trump or the GOP does but they know deep down it's evil.
For example, I know people who think locking up migrants and separating families is good. But they also know this makes them look like monsters. So whenever you press them on this, they will say "yeah but abortion kills MILLIONS every year!!!" But they don't actually care that much about abortion, they just want to deflect and shut down your objections to their other horrible views.
