When people claim that as a pro-lifer I don’t care about born children and my only goal is to “get the fetus born,” I don’t necessarily disagree with them. “Do anything to get the fetus born” is identical in this case to “Do anything to stop the fetal human from being dismembered.” So even if this were true (which it isn’t), I would have no problem saying my only goal is to “get the fetus born.” After all, we wouldn’t fault a firefighter who didn’t provide free housing to fire victims because his only goal was “to save lives and put the fire out.”
