I normally would avoid this topic, there is no middle ground. I don't expect anyone has ever changed their mind. And I'm not passionate about it enough to have a public opinion on the matter. Not sure there is any right and wrong answer.
Only thing I want to add to the discussion is this.
From my naive point of view, I suspect that many if not most abortions are probably related to drugs and alcohol. Either impaired judgment initially resulting in an unwanted pregnancy, or the realization that a baby may end up as fetal alcohol syndrome or similar.
I just can't quite understand how that many people could end up in a situation where this is their only option otherwise. Given all of the much easier options available, and the level of education on this topic provided in schools.
Are there any stats to back that up? Or am I out to lunch on this one?
