True, prayer is not a magic pill or a way to give God a shopping list. It is more of a way to focus the will of the flock and to help focus on common goals, there have been massive successes against abortions but no real victory. Prayer is just a request, many times the answer is no. More than any other single issue abortion, has exposed the democrats. It is hard for them to pretend they care about children when they fund massive movements of people, many who suffer greatly. Pretend these children will get care and give them false hopes. All the while American children live on the streets or face abortion. Without that exposure many misguided Christians would still vote democrat.
