Being both pro-life, and committed to the rule of law

I fear that the political pro-life movement is about to collide with the rule of law. 

That will be self-defeating, and it won't help the rule of law either. If you really want to protect human rights and dignity at all stages of life, you are asking to expand the rule of law to equally include all persons, especially those most under threat. This includes the poor, the sick, the stranger, the young and the old, the prisoner and the unborn. Of course this assumes you have established and will maintain that same rule of law. 

For decades most of the political pro-life movement has narrowed its target to reversing Roe v Wade. More recently, in order to achieve that one thing, many have chosen to support persons and groups that are working now to deeply damage the rule of law. The aim seems to be winning, with little concern for collateral damage. Changing the law means little if law itself is debased. One is asking for too little, and is willing to pay far too much for it. Enough now. More on that rule of law later . . .
