FACT: Pain receptors definitely do not exist in the fetus by the end of the 1st trimester (and probably not by the end of the 2nd trimester, but let's say the 1st just to be safe) so the child can die without any suffering: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/201429

FACT: no amount of propaganda (or anything else really) is gonna stop people from having unprotected sex: https://www.sciencealert.com/abstinence-only-education-is-more-of-a-hindrance-than-a-help-in-the-us

FACT: if you lack the means to raise the child yourself, the only alternative to abortion is surrendering your child to the state and overcrowding the orphanage/foster care system: https://www.americanadoptions.com/pregnant/what-happens-safe-haven-babies

FACT: growing up in a broken home and unwanted by your parents is one of the main contributors to negative life AND societal outcomes: https://www.brookings.edu/research/an-analysis-of-out-of-wedlock-births-in-the-united-states/

It doesn't matter how much conservatives try to shame people into not fucking. Humans literally evolved to crave unprotected sex which means you're trying to fight biology. Unwanted children will happen and people don't want to raise kids if they can't provide them at least a middle-class existence. That is why abortion must remain legal.

The people requiring abortions clearly are not ready for a child if they are that irresponsible with their own lives. Because the fetus doesn't suffer, really the only person who suffers from an abortion is the mother, so abortion even has a poetic justice element in addition to reducing problems for society at large. Why would you want to make two people's sexual mistake everybody else's problem?

I wager that more pro-choice people would be okay with criminalizing abortion if it could be GUARANTEED that every single child would have a good life; however, something tells me you don't want that amount of resources going to a federal child welfare program. That's a stone's throw away from communism.

And hey! If you're a Christian, by getting an abortion you just gave your child a free ride to heaven! You are saving them from having to endure the trials and tribulations of life on this earth. If you're earnestly religious (and not just virtue signaling) you should be demanding that more children are aborted. Of course, the reality is anyone opposed to abortion is merely virtue-signaling and hasn't thought about the consequences very much.

At the end of the day abortion is technically murdering infants. I concede that it's not an ideal solution. However, life ain't all sunshine and rainbows and it is the best solution that anyone has come up with so far.
