Choosing not to support a Democrat because they support legalized abortion, is different than choosing to unconditionally support a Republican because they support abortion restrictions.
In other words, sure, voting for Donald Trump meant that he would add justices who wanted to overturn RVW. But supporting him despite the fact that he was repeatedly accused of sexual assault? That kind of single-issue voting is my hang-up.

For example, choosing a pediatrician for your child? Sure, making sure the doctor is well-qualified and well-trained to give excellent medical care is super important for most people.

You are comparing competing benefits/costs, with a deal breaker. For example, "Yeah this pediatrician is affordable, in network, really caring with kids, and close by, but he's also been convicted of sexual abuse of a minor" Like, it doesn't matter how great all of the other things are about him, you just can't use that pediatrician. 
People feel similarly about politicians.
For Pro Life people: "Yeah this politician is great in ways X Y and Z, but he supports people murdering babies, so no can do."
I really don't know why someone who believed abortion was killing a human child, would be irrational for choosing not to support anyone who advocated it?
