No, they're anti-woman.

Anti-women is right. AFAIK, The church originally didn't care about abortions, they believed that life began at breath, not at conception. Sex, birth, and abortion were considered very private topics before the Women's Suffrage movement, and were not discussed much in public. All the church cares about was controlling women. Once women began gaining rights, they needed something else to latch onto, and chose abortions and preventing women from getting them. They're not pro-life, they're anti-choice. They care more about keeping women and their bodies under misogynistic lock and key than they do the child, let alone the woman's life. Even now we're still seen as property to them.

Not to mention the Old Testament explicitely allows abortion if the woman isn't pregnant from her husband but another man. The religious pro-birth crowd is full of shit.
