If they are losing why isn’t a single major political party anti-abortion, and why will being pro-life a toxic position to hold nationwide?

Because America is about the people and not the politicians and parties. Americans are waking up to the reality of abortion, mostly thanks to leftist success at making more and more extreme.

Because elections are won on the margins.

Perhaps about 20% of the electorate would vote for an explicitly pro-life candidate, based on that reason. About 30% of the population would vote against that candidate explicitly for that reason.

The most toxicity has been seen in the issue of rape. There will likely never be a large enough portion of voters supporting forced birth upon rape victims.
