If you really want to try to understand their position, you cannot frame the question that way. It's as if one would argue against laws prohibiting murder because "does anybody honestly think that laws against murder will magically halt all murders?"

Their view has more to do with what is sanctioned by the state. It is unquestionably a matter of morality for those who oppose abortion. One can argue the matter from a number of angles, but the simple answer to the question you pose is no.
