What about pro-the development of artificial wombs, in order to make the...extremely tricky moral problem....obsolete by allowing pre-birth adoption?
Most of the difficult questions aren't black or white, and applying either or labels like that to such a thing isn't helpful.
Over here it isn't an issue, there was some comment on it a while back, kids surviving earlier and earlier births, maybe should take the limit down a bit (its 24 weeks IIRC)...but in the end general consensus not to....and, that's it, not heard a single politician (or anyone) mention it since.
I also think it's highly dubious to make the argument that way, as in the eyes of people of the opposing view, it's not the womans body, but the childs, that they're worried about. Saying, loudly, angrily, and repeatedly 'I can do what I like with my body' when you're well aware that isn't the issue....won't lead to anything but the pointless divisive soundbite repitition & mouth word putting* of american politics.
*I'm sure there's a more concise way of saying that....
