You don't get to call yourself pro-life

In my world, you don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and be against common-sense gun control — like banning public access to the kind of semiautomatic assault rifle, designed for warfare, that was used recently in a Colorado theater. You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and want to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency, which ensures clean air and clean water, prevents childhood asthma, preserves biodiversity and combats climate change that could disrupt every life on the planet. You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and oppose programslike Head Start that provide basic education, health and nutrition for the most disadvantaged children. You can call yourself a “pro-conception-to-birth, indifferent-to-life conservative.” I will never refer to someone who pickets Planned Parenthood but lobbies against common-sense gun laws as “pro-life.”
whew!  talk about the reality of now.
it will be hard for a anyone holding a long time sense of "holier then thou", to accept the derogatory that glares in their adherence to one thing and complicity with another in defiance, therein lies their conundrum, they want one thing that is contradictory to the next thing. recognizing that well sure some will deny others who look at it that's a start.
your hates and things you rail against do more psychological harm to you then those who you are defying, they don't know of you or your individual existence.
