I think another divide that's often going on between the pro-life vs pro-choice movements is about sex in general. There's a huge gulf between those who believe sex is sacred & should only happen within marriage and should always be 'weighted' with the possibility of pregnancy, versus those who see it as a normal biological impulse that should be as 'light' and risk free as possible (with pregnancy being just another of the manageable risks).
I think you're partially right, and I think this is one of the problems facing the pro-life movement at the moment. I must say, however, that there are plenty of pro-lifers who don't view sex as particularly sacred, and see it more as a biological impluse, however, they recognize pregnancy normal result of that biological impulse, and acknowledge that life in utero, should be protected.
