You can be pro-life without wanting to use state violence to force your will on others. Most people miss this point because they take the current state apparatus for granted. Most of the women getting abortions are young, poor, minority women. This should be the starting point when considering policies and initiatives to reduce the abortion rate. However, most pro-lifers are too wrapped up in their religious dogma and virtue signaling to step into the shoes of these women and address their needs, which would be the most effective way to stop abortions.
