There's a whole missing element to the abortion discussion. There have been 50 million abortions in the US since Roe vs. Wade. I'm pretty sure (despite being a man) that if you ask ANY woman would she like to have an abortion, she'd say no. VERY low on her list of things to do. Traumatic in 17 different ways.

The broader cultural question migh be: If the social contract is written in such a way that does not protect women from unwanted pregnancies, there is something serious off-kilter about the social contract.
As a (desperate) solution for sickness and rape, there are very good arguments for abortion. But as a handy way for getting out of pregnancy, it's extremely abusive and disrespectful of women. This is NOT where 'women's rights' should have led.
I think a deeper change is needed, not an argument about the 'right' to abortion. How about the right to live life without fearing you might need to undergo something traumatic and physically threatening, just because guys would rather have more intercourse.
