Conservative politicians developed and communicated the notion of a fetal "right to life" in order to unite Catholics and Protestants and link their interests to the Republican Party. This was a successful strategy in the late 1970s and 1980s, with the emergence of the Religious Right as a powerful force in American politics. By framing abortion as a moral issue, conservative politicians were able to appeal to religious voters and win their support for conservative candidates and policies.
