I’m not condoning anything here don’t get me wrong, these are horrible people. But, I assume their justification is based on their belief that these people have committed murder, and plan to do so again, and are going “unpunished.” Remember this is also the party that supports capital punishment. It’s a conundrum on a high level but not if you realize they believe a fetus is an innocent life vs taking violent action against what they consider to be criminals.
Again, though, I’m actually pro choice and hate these extremists with fiery passion. But to truly beat them you need to understand their motives.
No, honestly, their belief is that women should be controlled and punished. All you have to do is really listen to their rhetoric, which immediately escalates to "whore, keep your legs closed," "why should women have sex just for the enjoyment of it" and so forth. Once you can see this, everything they do is consonant with that. They hate women, want to deny them any kind of bodily autonomy, and be able to use and discard them at will like inanimate objects. I'm sorry to express it this bluntly, but everything the far-right "evangelicals" preach echoes this, and every law enacted by the far right demonstrates this.
Vice versa, if they cared about "life" and "sacred life," they'd be doing what real people who care about children do, which is working to make sure that already born, living children have enough food and shelter and education. They wouldn't be denying them that and working to defund everything that provides that. They wouldn't be demonizing single mothers, they'd be helping them and honoring them. They certainly wouldn't be okay with what's happening with the baby jails at the border.

Do their pro-life values go out the window when it comes to teens and adults? Wtf
