I generally agree with your sentiment, but then if I really think about it, I have to ask myself, "how can I be okay with other people shedding innocent blood"?
Maybe I need to become more rabidly anti-abortion because when you get right down to it, is there anything more evil than snuffing out an innocent person's life? I know, I know, the argument is about whether a fetus is a "person".
Either way, thinking about the high number of abortions done makes me quite sad, especially when in the context of my own children, as you have already described.
