This is a good post about the future of the pro-life movement as we enter the 39th year since Roe v. Wade. I would say that the author overstates the case a little though. I think the Church is already doing many of these things. It has largely moved from a protest-first mentality to caring for the mothers and babies while also still protesting where appropriate and needed. It does support crisis pregnancy centers. It has mostly framed the debate away from stopping "evil moms from killing their kids" to a matter of human rights and a scientific definition of the beginning of life. But at the same time, the Church has far to go. We need to adopt more babies, bring more single mothers into our homes, and care for those in our community who need our help.
