Frida Ghitis : The anti-abortion movement has been reduced to being a largely ineffective apparatus within the Republican Party .

She says people who have made principled stances not to support pro-abortion-rights politicians are left with nowhere to go.

Ghitis says there is no “pro-life party” as anyone would have recognized it even four years ago .

The pro-life movement should look to the Civil Rights Movement , she says.

Cliff Smith: As a movement, the anti-abortion movement worked hard to have a foothold in both parties.

He says Martin Luther King Jr. openly supported Democrat Lyndon Johnson , but supported Republican Richard Nixon .

Smith: To truly win on an issue, you need to win with many different constituencies.

Making the pro-life cause a bipartisan social movement will not be easy, he says.
