Abortion should be legal because people deserve control of their own bodies.
Abortion should be legal because people should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy for other reason. (I use "people" instead of "women" here because trans men and genderqueer people need reproductive health services too.)

Abortion should be legal because people will terminate their pregnancies for whatever reason, and it's best that they do it safely.

Period.

1. Anti-abortion people think men should be allowed to control women.

2. Abortion should be legal because it's not the gov'ts business.
It's a personal, medical, sometimes spiritual decision. Period.

3. "Genderqueer"?
Has there been a shift in the accepted nomenclature, or did someone just blow his/her cover?

5. Absolutely
When women don't even have control of their bodies, what else can they be trusted with? Certainly not any kind of social voice or elected office.
