It is my experience that the majority of women are for abortion rights. Even women who say they are against them will equivocate when given specific situations. So say to them your daughter was raped (extreme example), you get that would be an exception. This is how we get the exemption of rape, incest and mothers life is in danger. When you present to anti abortion women these extreme circumstances they allow it, they will reconsider their position. I grant its not all women, but the majority of anti abortion ones.
Whats interesting to bring up when they allow these specific exemptions is ask, how do you prove rape in a timely manor? AKA avoid late term abortion? What about when a woman life is endangered in the 5th month? How about the child that does not know they are pregnant? You don't find out its dads child till they are 6 months along (say a 12 year old)? Again just look at a rape situation, not all women are beaten when raped, you don't always see physical signs of aggressive penetration (working on polite words here). The woman says I was raped, goes straight to the police, no shower she does exactly as she has learned to do in this situation, she has a rape kit done, but again has no physical signs of abuse (bruising, broken bones, wounds etc), was she "really raped" or is she now afraid she may be with child? How do you prove it in that first 3 months? Make it even easier, she knows the suspect it's her creepy neighbor, police go, detain, run a DNA test, its positive all in say three weeks. You still have to prove it was rape, there will not be a trial for months, the person she is accusing (who's DNA is a match), says it was consensual, not rape. Now what, that pregnancy will be born before that case is decided in the courts even in ideal circumstances. What all this is about is that even women who don't believe in abortion will grant exceptions, and do not want it banned under all circumstances. As always, there are a small fraction who do want it banned in all circumstances, but they are an extreme minority.
