For those of you who have been snookered into believing that a solidly pro-life candidate cannot win national office and build a true consensus, I offer Ronald Wilson Reagan as evidence:
Reagan was staunchly opposed to abortion. Yes, he signed a bill in California that had the effect of liberalizing abortions in that state. However, he regretted signing that bill until the end of his political life. The above link was written in 1983, well before his re-election was assured. Somehow, he managed to win 49 states the next November putting an end to the myth that an opponent to abortion cannot win a national race in a landslide.
