This is a hypothetical question that I've never seen posed on the DU.

What if the pro-life movement was NOT awash in hypocrisy, and the majority of its members supported social programs that would ensure that mothers and their children would never know poverty (or that adoption agencies would accept children and place them in well-funded orphanages). In addition, what would happen if they were:

Anti-war
Anti-sanction
Against capital punishment
Favored rehabilitation for addicts as opposed to incarceration


In other words, what if the pro-life movement actually transmogrified into a philanthropic force?

THIS IS FANTASTICAL, I KNOW...But how many would actually change their stance on this issue?

Edit: To better define the parameters of this question involving the (highly) unlikely development in politics, these pro-lifers would only favor abortion if the mother's life was at risk. And yes, this would be a non-violent progressive movement. No abortion clinic bombers to be found.
