They can not legislate abortion out of existence so work to change the condions leading to it. In no particular order

-universal age appropriate sex education
-paid parental leave
-affordable accessible pre and post natal care
-access to a variety of affordable birth control
-affordable safe housing
-affordable daycare
-domestic violence and other acts of violence against women
-support services for families with disabled children

To Christian Nationalists, and more on the right, that looks like far left indoctrination.

My rightest friends might respond: Sex ed should be up to parents. And they are responsible for providing housing and care for their children, not the government. Domestic violence is already against the law and anyway it can't be legislated out of existence. Acts of violence against women are perpetrated by individuals who should be held accountable for their behavior if proven to violate the law. 

If I'm on the far right, the only social "conditions" that degrade families which I can acknolwedge are "far left" social policies. Otherwise, there is no effective or affectable connection between social environment (e.g., poverty, crime, lack of educational/employment/housing opportunity)  and the family problems you'd address above. Those are all traced to individuals who make bad choices, which begins with ignoring the Bible and flouting traditional role models and family ideals.  From this perspective, a reaffirmation of Christian lifestyle, affirmed and supported by federal and state government, is the more practical solution, as they believe our deist founders intended. 

So you are dealing with a total world view here, in which inquiry into social problems stops with "personal accountability," except where government polices are concerned.  And in practice, only divinely chosen leaders can be excepted from that accountability. Your proposals only make sense to parents who are already more secular, science-oriented types.  I think one aspect of Project 2025 is that it is a concerted effort to alter the social conditions which have allowed that secular, science-oriented world view to thrive in the U.S. Hence the special foci on HHs, Dept. of Ed--the DOJ needed to enforce the required changes.
