One of the problems with the GOP's abortion stance, is that the GOP takes a Christian point of view to the topic and ignores other religion's philosophy of abortion. For example, in Judaism, life starts when the born infant takes breath after the umbilical cord is cut.

In the conservative Christian POV, life starts when the ovum and sperm unite - which is a pretty radical idea of when life beings as fertilized egg is not viable on its own.
