I do think reducing abortions by making it easier for parents to care for children is important, and providing paid maternity (and hopefully also paternity leave) would be a worthy goal. Making sure young children have access to affordable day care/preschool is important as well. So is encouraging the use of birth control.
But I feel like if you view abortion as murder, you must also view miscarriages as natural deaths, and consider the infant mortality rate to be a few hundred per thousand instead of 7 per 1000 in the U.S. Conservatives would do well to do significant research into preventing miscarriages, if they truly care about preventing the death of fetuses.
