I guess these good clergy and lay leaders were too busy thinking about politics to worry about what the Bible says about abortion

Actually, the Bible doesn't say anything at all about abortion.

Although you can extrapolate from some of its other principles to show quite clearly that the practice is anti-biblical.

Actually, the Bible doesn't say anything at all about abortion.

The Bible does not address abortion by name, but the Old Testament says something about murder, if I remember correctly. Abortion is murder.
