I have answered this question in the past. What I would do differently is not blindly give my vote until I had a firm committment to action and then something that I could hold politicians accountable to. Something that I could evaluate and revisit after their term.
My sphere of influence is relatively small, so all I can do to stop abortions is attempt to influence those in my sphere of influence. However, the Presidents, Senators, State Governments, Judges, and Justices have a considerablt larger sphere of influence. I would not settle for rhetoric from those people. If those people are pro-life then the landscape should be considerably different. There was a time in our country when abortion was not so rampant and demanding action would have been key to me.

To your point about godly people not participating and allowing the ungodly to rule...that has been my point accept that the ungodly ruled under a cloak of "godliness" so the godly supported them.
There are good and bad people in BOTH political parties! Sometimes we demonize good people because of their party affiliation.

That being said, we have to look at party platforms and decide which party is closer to our values. As ugly as it seems, the Republican party seems to be a closer match to my values.
