Nice speculation, but there is actually a Pro-Life Establishment that doesn’t go beyond certain boundaries, i.e., National Right to Life, which disaffiliated a state outlet, I think Ohio, for supporting California Proposition 8, Marriage between 1 man & 1 woman.

It has all been explained long ago in “Abortion: A Failure to Communicate” by Paul F. Swope, First Things, April 1998 https://tinyurl.com/4kn2swwt

But the permanent pro-life groups don’t have an incentive to take those research findings to heart.

“Pro-Life Establishment Still Preaching to the Choir After 25 Years”

Pro-life professional advertising psychology research, the bright side of otherwise nefarious “engineering of consent” industry, revealed by 1998 that the standard pro-life approach to women in crisis pregnancies has consistently continued to be largely self-defeating because it fails to account for crisis-pregnancy Mothers’ actual psychological state. Dr. Carl Landwehr, the man most single-handedly responsible for tipping the majority, if not the elites of America pro-life, speaks about “the dogma dump” — if I could just open a hatch in their heads and make them understand what I know, they would convert to my viewpoint and everything would become alright. We couldn’t afford that approach then, and as long as we are opposed by wealthy elites, we will continue to experience failure saving babies and Mothers, as the opposition continues its relentless innovations in convincing young people to the pro-abortion side.

My friends why didn’t we get this out when Roe was overturned? Think about how the left reacted and then ask why Linda Graham blew a few house seats for us.

We’ll need a national movement to push this issue and it will start with a billionaire putting down one as seed money. Build it and they will come. Churches are out there to help. Helping out is what they’re there for. I’ll leave it to Trump to call for it as none of our leaders will. Instead we get Linda.

That has NOT been my experience with the Aid for Women crisis pregnancy in downtown Chicago, nor the crisis pregnancy center in Columbus, GA.

In Chicago, we had a large majority of women walking into an abortion mill who agreed to get a "second opinion" pregnancy test (combined with true stories of fraud by the abortionist) to turn around, and it was all about meeting the mother's needs.
