I am convinced that this is an issue of technology, not morality because both sides are in the moral wrong, so I made my own, which I have dubbed Pro-Freedom.
Invest in science and technology and reap the rewards of increased personal freedom and decreased suffering. Tolerate neither oppression nor unnecessary death!

If the abortion is unrestricted, then women who don't want to give birth to a child and go through all the torture it implies can satisfy their desire, not affecting anyone else's lives. Hence all is well.
If the abortion is restricted, then women and their partners can just take very basic precautions, that are recommended in regular sex anyway, and avoid the need for abortion in virtually all cases in the first place. Hence all is well.
There are so many relevant topics to talk about, and that abortion remains this large constitution of a divide between two major political movements in the US in the 21st century is truly bizarre.

The abortion debate is like arguing about how a house fire should be fought. Should you contain the fire and let one house burn, or fight the fire directly and risk it spreading?
I have a better Idea: Lets make houses fire-proof!
If a sexually active has the option to buy and use affordable birth control, it is more than reasonable that she should.
Why is there no male equivalent?
Condoms suck and vasectomy requires surgery that carries risk of being irreversible.
There are several reasons for this, the first being that it is much more difficult to create because males are always potent, where females can only get pregnant during a certain window of time. Pregnancy has always been seen as a female issue, so drug companies have been unwilling to invest the capitol needed to create it until recently.
Imagine if you will, a gel a sexually active male could rub on his shoulders which would decrease his sperm count to 0.01% of what it normally is. If this treatment was widely accepted and used in conjunction with female birth control, ( I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be ) that could reduce unwanted pregnancies to 1,000's per 100 million people instead of tens of thousands per 100 million people.
At this point, abortion can be legalized without throwing up much of a fuss because you are more likely to die from the common cold.
If you want to debate me, at least make some discussion about this being a technological issue or not, instead of just ignoring my claim.

It's a closeted conversation, when two consenting adults, create an unconsensual baby, but the babys Rights get censored from the conversation, as it's unconsensually developing inside of the ladies womb?
It's educationally fascinating to see how the millions of unborn babies who have been aborted, got their voices, and their Rights taken from them, via being aborted, from a ladies womb?
Maybe a Prenatal Doctor, or a Pediatrician, could Scientifically create an artificial womb, that could take the place of the ladies womb, who chooses to abort the unborn baby, instead of having the baby, and then giving that newborn baby, a chance at having their own voice, and their own Rights, via their adoptive parent, or parents?
Look at that, a "Triple Win" for the non aborted baby?

While some women are going to go through with having a baby, and then giving that baby up for adoption.
The life and death balancing, between Adoption and abortion.
The murkiness over the politics of sex, birth control, and abortion?
It's amazing, how human beings manage their lifestyles through that murky lens?
The millions of aborted generations of humanity gone because of the practice of abortion.
And in some countries, a female can seek anywhere from 4-14 abortions?
An unconsensual baby, sure must weigh heavily on the minds of some females?
Just as an unconsensual baby, must weigh heavily on the minds of those unconsensual males, who didn't, or don't want to be dad.
But hey, there's always the option of abortion, to lift that unconsensual weight off of the minds, of those consensual minded males, and females though right?
Abortion, is right to them.
While unborn lives are lost in the Wake of the pro Abortion conversation.
That's one heck of a Wake isn't it?

Where i would disagree with you is that not being able to have as much sex as you want is limiting freedom just because currently there may be negative consequences. Freedom allows you to do what you wish but doesnt come without consequences.
This is why the founders and many others have said freedom is hard.
Currently you are allowed to have as much sex as they want but they risk becoming pregnant or even getting an STI.
Your allowed to eat as much as you want...your freedom is not limited just because overeating may cause early death or health issues.
People know the consequences of having sex and used their freedom to make a decision. Because they lack responsibility they want freedom without consequences, which usually isnt possible.

What I am saying is that the consequences of having as much sex as you want or eating as much food as you want should be removed through technological development.
Is this unreasonable?
Consider the invention of fire thousands of years ago. This allowed food to be sterilized meaning parasites would be less likely to enter human hosts.
Farming allowed the production of massive amounts of food, allowing for large stable populations.
Antibiotics and other modern medicines allowed the treatment of many diseases.
In all situations, technological progress has proceeded social change.
Right now the risks of having lots of sex are unwanted pregnancy and STI's. There is no reason in known physics that prevents these things from being combated effectively with new technology, just as every problem mankind has ever faced has been combated with new technology.

Sure , but from your table it seemed as though you were saying not being able to have sex without consequences limits freedom and i believe that is wrong.
We dont have the technology you are speaking of, so we have to make laws based on the now, not the utopia we may have in the future.
Plus even if there were ways you could 100% prevent pregnancy, people would still want a fallback. Not all people would be responsible in using it, and theyd still claim my body my choice.

It is true that people are not always responsible and do not always act in their own self interest. This is evident in the chaos and general unpredictability in human behavior and human systems such as the stock market. People sometimes even go out of their way to hurt themselves.
To combat this, we need to create a system that in part works with human nature so that people on the whole tend not to do things and society maintains itself and it's citizens.
By focusing on the here and now, we may not give adequate attention to the future. The core of my argument is that what we choose to do after the fact is just damage control. It's already to late, the mistakes were already made, responsibility was already ignored, therefore it is of less consequence how we handle a post-ideal situation as opposed to how we prevent catastrophe.
Lets consider 4 extreme scenarios:
1) Every case of pregnancy out of wedlock was handled as a felony, all mothers immediately arrested their babies forced to be carried to birth and then raised by the state in an adoption facility.
2) All pregnancies out of wedlock are aborted by the mother's choice, which is influenced through propaganda, normalization through media, and fear campaigns about the difficulty in raising a child as a single mother.
3) If someone gets pregnant out of wedlock, they must submit an appeal to a court who will then flip a coin, if it is heads the mother must carry the baby, otherwise they will have the option of an abortion if they don't want to keep the baby.
All ridiculous, but at some point in history all are essentially true!
So the question is: Can there be a right answer?
I would argue that there is no right answer as far as abortion is concerned, The only "right" thing is that it never occurs, and the most effective way to do that is to make it a statistical non-issue, the same way many health concerns were eliminated through medical advances, but still people get food poisoning by eating out of trashcans.

I agree the only right thing is that abortion never occurs. So currently it should be banned until technology that you are talking about is invented. Even then it should be banned because like i said some people will still want access. But for most it would be a non issue.

It's not politics it's biology.
Like it or hate it, if you have sex there is a chance you will get pregnant, apart from abstinence, no one really has conscious control over what their reproductive organs do, it's all automatic and acts without thought or higher reason.
It is troubling to think, but it is true. We are by nature, not masters of our own bodies. Only by denying nature access to our lives can we free ourselves from the shackles of biology.
This does not automatically mean that abortion should be outlawed or made completely legal. It just means that worrying about it doesn't matter one way or the other, if we decided to make the decisions by coin flip or one extreme we would be doing things justly.
