I have been working on this speech for 6 years...

Well, I'm sorry you had to go through that, and
I'm never claiming that I know what you, or other people go through when they consider having an abortion.
I just don't think any person has the right to decide whether an unborn human being lives or dies.
In the United States, I don't think the Supreme Court made the right decision interpreting the law to say that a woman has the right to her body, and therefore has the right to terminate her pregnancy. The result of that case was
inferred from a law, and 3 current Supreme Court Justices feel it was 110% the wrong decision, including the Chief Justice John Roberts, and still a few more are uncertain about the issue.
I studied political science research methods in college, and I've seen the polls done by the National Election Survey, and there are dozens of questions about abortion, and
none of them are yes or no questions. This is fact. There is a great divide among US citizens about abortion.
The answers to "stance on: abortion" are always on a scale with four options:
"Completely against abortion in all circumstances."
"Against abortion unless the mother's life is threatened."
"Against abortion unless in the case of rape, the mother's life is threatened, etc..."
"Favor a woman's right to choose."
(and then there's "Uncertain")
I've also seen some polls that have more than that.
