It's so odd that this is a constant high visibility political issue. With the exception of places like Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Burma and Alabama, the breakdown of Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life must be around 9-1.
The debate that we should be having is one of free speech, allowing the minority Pro-Life movement free access to relay their message. That is a fight that would put the majority on the side of Pro-Life advocates rights to speak openly.
Because of the messed up way that the American electoral system works, there is a never ending string of 'debate' over this issue that will never be resolved. It is pretty clear that any legislation should be voted on by the people in a referendum and not in a legislative body that is strife with corruption.
If the Pro-Life argument is good enough, it will sway enough people to win a referendum. That is a massive swing of opinion that needs to be achieved, and godspeed to you attempting it.
In the meantime, abortion will be used as a smokescreen to move eyes away from other more potentially damaging issues. We should stop pretending that there is a 50-50 split on the issue of abortion.
