I've noticed that those who claim to be "pro-life" are very often also pro-war and pro-death penalty. Ah....

My own feeling is that abortion is a matter left to the conscience of the woman involved. Legal, yes; safe, yes. But if the churches want to teach that abortion (or contraception, for that matter) is morally wrong they have the right to do so. But they should be consistent in their teachings before they call themselves "pro-life."

Oddly enough the Catholic Church has (recently) been consistent in this matter (if you take into consideration the concept of just and unjust wars).
