Then we've cast aside any illusion of whether anyone's life is sacred or innocent or not.
Whether they are in the womb or not?
Haven't we.?
If you seek to deprive me or mine of liberty, then your life becomes worth less and less as you become more intrusive. Maybe it's just me, but I would never go after someone and impose my beliefs on them. I expect the same of others. In fact, I demand it.
Y'know, I go to work every day, knowing that I'm paying taxes that churches don't, so folks who entertain that delusion can enjoy themselves. I know I'm getting robbed, but I let it go because I have to.
If I'm driving down the road after a storm, and see a tree in the road, I stop. I put my flashers on, and move it out of the road. If it's too big, I'll chain it to my truck and pull it out of the road. Meanwhile, all these supposed "Christians" with their little fishies on their cars and trucks drive right by and leave it there for a young mother to come along and hit, killing her and her children.
If I'm walking past a homeless person, I stop, and offer to buy them something to eat.
When I'm driving down the road and see kids playing, I slow to a crawl.
I don't carry a gun, because I would never try to put the safety of someone else dependent upon my aim.
Yes, I'm pro life, in a lot of ways. Probably exponentially more ways than the average "pro-lifer". However I would never try to tell another human being what to do with their body for 9 months, ever. It's called being a decent and respectful person.
(c) The preplacement assessment shall, after a reasonable investigation, report on the following about the individual being assessed:
(1) Age and date of birth, nationality, race, or ethnicity, and any religious preference;
(2) Marital and family status and history, including the presence of any children born to or adopted by the individual and any other children in the household;
(3) Physical and mental health, including any addiction to alcohol or drugs;
(4) Educational and employment history and any special skills;
(5) Property and income, and current financial information provided by the individual;
(6) Reason for wanting to adopt;
(7) Any previous request for an assessment or involvement in an adoptive placement and the outcome of the assessment or placement;
(8) Whether the individual has ever been a respondent in a domestic violence proceeding or a proceeding concerning a minor who was allegedly abused, dependent, neglected, abandoned, or delinquent, and the outcome of the proceeding;
(9) Whether the individual has ever been convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic violation;
(10) Whether the individual has located a parent interested in placing a child with the individual for adoption and a brief, nonidentifying description of the parent and the child; and
(11) Any other fact or circumstance that may be relevant to a determination of the individual's suitability to be an adoptive parent, including the quality of the environment in the home and the functioning of any children in the household.
(12) The agency preparing the preplacement assessment may redact from the preplacement assessment provided to a placing parent or guardian detailed information reflecting the prospective adoptive parent's financial account balances and detailed information about the prospective adoptive parent's extended family members, including surnames, names of employers, names of schools attended, social security numbers, telephone numbers and addresses, and other similarly detailed information about extended family members obtained under subsections (b) and (c) of this section.
When any of the above is not reasonably available, the preplacement assessment shall state why it is unavailable.

I think it's just fine to tell people not to kill innocent life.
Once that's gone, the rest of the moral compass is not far behind.

Part of the definition of "innocent" is...
"not causing physical or moral injury; harmless: innocent fun."
Babies, are not innocent. The process of pregnancy injures many if not most women. A small percentage end up with diabetes caused by severe gestational diabetes, and a small percentage even die.
Pregnancy isn't as simple as holding on to something for 9 months and then squeezing it out. It's a lot more complicated than that, and it's not for you or I to decide whether or not someone should put themselves through that. That's up to them. It's their risk, not mine, or yours.
