The ultimate acid test here isn't whether the pro-life movement wants more babies or fewer abortions, it's exactly why are they fighting abortion in the first place. If it's out of a genuine commitment to life from conception to death, with no other ulterior motives, your advice is perfect. But I suspect that for many of them (as a lot of the commenters have already suggested) this has nothing to do with life and everything in the world to do with sex. To put it bluntly, lots of pro-lifers see nonmarital sex in much the same way Jason Voorhees does, which is why so many of them also support abstinence only sex ed and oppose the LGBT movement. If suppressing sexual activity is the real goal, your advice does the exact opposite of what they really want no matter how many abortions are prevented. So I expect it to be a complete nonstarter.
