It seems to me that someone who decides that abortion is wrong could still believe that abortion should be legal, but do pro-life advertising, suggest to pregnant friends that they carry the child to term, and then shame or ostracize their friends that get abortions, just as an animal rights activist might believe that eating animals should be legal but do advertisement and positive and negative social actions to convince their social circles to not eat animals.
