As a Christian who is pro-life, I really wish the pro-life cause were disassociated from religious convictions. I mean, I oppose abortions because I think the idea itself is fricked up, not because I'm a Christian. Much the same way one doesn't have to be a believer or even religious to believe that murder or some other heinous crime is fricked up.

I don't think you are hoping for too much. A lot of people think this way. This is basically the way my wife, who is a non-believer, explains her viewpoint; almost verbatim. The left is basically a vehicle to escape from responsibility. Get pregnant? Kill it. Don't want to pay down your student loans? Get Bernie to forgive them. Get tossed in jail for robbing people? Blame your childhood. Can't ever get ahead in any way because you are lazy or like drugs too much? It's the evil rich holding you down.
