I think this is an insanely complex issue with economic and social implications and causation on both sides of the coin. There are also wacko nut jobs on both sides, and sadly, it gets turned into a religious argument which brings in all kinds of biases.
I'd consider myself as one who supports women's rights to manage their own bodies, but at the same time, am pro-life for any abortion after heartbeat, given then you're at the point where you're arguing a mother's convenience (ignoring medically necessary abortions, I think those are still likely needed in cases) over the life of the fetus.
Where you fall in this debate really comes down to if you see the fetus as a person or not.
