Puhleeze - their is no “Devil,” if by that term you mean a renegade or rebellious angel that opposes G-d. The very idea that one of G-d’s creations could oppose him (let alone be successful for even a microsecond) is absurd beyond belief.
The fact is that el-Satan (the Satan) is an angel in the service of G-d, he/it does what G-d wants. His/Its main task is to tempt the faith of humans (see the Book of Job).
That all said, and to get back to topic, the Left opposes babies (or, at least, white/Western babies) because they hate our culture. For some reason that I cannot fathom, they are guilt-ridden about our success as a civilization. They feel as if we owe something to the rest of the world that can only be repaid if we commit cultural suicide...forgetting completely that without Western medicine, food and other aid, the population of the poorer parts of the world would be considerably less, and misery would be elevated to far higher levels than it is. They are sick and, IMHO, evil in many ways (and I define “evil” as being a lack of goodness, or a lack of G-d in their lives).

I think the primary questions for you are “Is the Bible true?”.... “Can it be taken literally?”. It sounds like your answer is no to both. That is where we differ.
I agree that Lucifer had to be totally wacked out bonkers when he conspired to overthrow God... but it gets better than that... Satan somehow managed to convince a third of the entire angelic host to join his cause.... so the question then becomes “What could possibly have happened in heaven to generate so much pride and anger to the point that all these angels actually thought they had a chance at succeeding?”
My guess is that it had something to do with the creation of mankind, and the role which was revealed to the angels in serving mankind. (They are much more powerful than we are)
All I think I can share with you on this, in answer to your reasoned question is... “Emotion OVERRIDES reason”.
We see it all of the time here on earth.
Look around you... the world is going nuts!
Even regarding this topic. It does not make any sense whatsoever to oppose new life... and yet they do... and for reasons which defy logic.
Yes... Pride and anger IS capable of making you a total loon.
Don’t lean on your own understanding. You should take a harder look at the reliability of God’s Word.
