I know what you're saying. I have a family member who is an every Sunday going to church lady, and lives a normal Christian life. Yet; she's pro-abortion (she would say pro-choice; but it means the same thing), for all the reason's people have. It does not jive with any serious teaching or practice of a devout Christian to believe in the aborting of a human life.

I don't want to get into a whole social consciousness discussion here; I'm just speaking as to the practice of Christianity.

My departure from strict Christian teaching is in the prevention of conception, as in "birth control". I think the Church needs to rethink that. I don't think Jesus would have much to say to that, either. Pre-conception is not life, in my way of thinking and the Church should step back on that teaching.
