The modern pro-life movement that people are referring to here is dominated by evangelical christians. If anything, the Catholics are marginalized in the movement.

Simply put... no. You may perceive it that way because the evangelicals make a big fuss, but the Catholic church is by far the largest group. Additionally, most evangelicals believe abortion is okay in certain cases. Their main argument against abortion is that woman should be saddled with the 'consequences of their actions'.

In contrast, the Church is against abortion in all cases, period, and doesn't think that children are a 'consequence' to be dealt with, but rather a life to be preserved.

According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_pro-life_movemen...), a 2008 study (the Munson study) found that, of all pro-life activists, 66% were Catholic, a substantial majority.
