Of course the conservatives think Roe v Wade is super fucked up- because they don't like it.

Actually, I don't think that most of the politicians care about Roe. If they thought that they would have a better chance of being elected if they supported it, they would. I don't doubt for a second that they would pay for an abortion if they believed it was in their interest. It is just another issue that "single issue" voters care enough about that they will cast their vote based on that issue alone and never think for a second about any of the other issues that come up. Like guns. And "socialism" or commies. Transgenders. Immigrants and racism in some parts of the country (those blacks and gays always want special treatment!) Used to be gays more often, but that one has mostly but certainly not completely run its course except for its linkage with transgenders and and the "sacrament" of marriage. Republicans love those issues because they get them plenty of votes and they allow them to do whatever they want in every other area that they actually do care about. Like lower taxes, less regulation, privatize government functions and (eventually) sell off public lands (or open them up for exploitation on cheap terms) so that they can make still more money.
