Republicans could win if they focused on fiscal responsibility, cracking down on illegal immigration and crime, and protecting the Second Amendment.
The pro-life argument mobilizes the social conservatives, but it mobilizes the Left even more if they can give the impression that Republicans will outlaw abortion.
The problem we have in the short term is they were so irresponsible when they were in control it's hard to believe they will be responsible in the future. On illegal immigration they were so absolutist that it turned the middle over to the Rats. We need to resolve how to handle the status of those that are here and have not violated other laws and how to deal with the labor shortage.

The pro-life proponents have been willing to take incremental steps (ban late term abortions etc.) it's time to increase the awareness on safety and the need for transparency. Abortion clinics should be safer, only allow doctors to perform them and the entire process should be better regulated for the safety of the woman.
