... I've thought about it a lot, and have come to the conclusion through much logical reasoning why it shouldn't be allowed and why it's morally wrong. But if logical reasoning can be used to persuade me to change my mind again and argue successfully as to why my opinions are logically and morally wrong, I'm all ears. It won't be easy though.

However, what i'll counter is that she should have thought of that before she willfully undertook actions that made her become pregnant. Her actions (along with the actions of the man) led to her becoming pregnant. Now she has created a human life by her own willful actions (& inactions). How is killing a human life an acceptable form of birth control? The time for proper use of birth control was BEFORE the pregnancy.
First off, abortion is not killing - as in murder. The fetus, or baby if you find that a more preferable term, has no existence as an individual separate from the mother. it is entirely 100% dependant upon the mother for all sustenance. It can't even leave or wander away from its mother. It has no known thought process or desires or wishes or wants. not even a survival instinct. There is nothing about the baby to suggest that it is a separate human entity from mom. Abortion is an acceptable form of birth control - albeit a form of last resort - because some people choose to do so. So it is, in fact, acceptable. Not by you, I understand that.
The pregnancy isn't against her will, it was her will that made it become so in the first place. Now there's an innocent baby human life involved, the baby never asked to be created, it's a slave to the mother, 100% wholly dependent on her, creation and death. Why should the baby be killed without its consent, against its will, when its creation is 100% entirely the responsibility of the mother (and father)? All because the mom and dad wanted to have fun sexy times and didn't live up to their responsibility to use proper precautions. It's a horribly selfish argument.
The pregnancy could very well be against her will. She may have wanted the sexual congress but not want the pregnancy that resulted. Where do you get off deciding that if she engages in sexual intercourse she must want to be pregnant? That is something that you cannot possibly know or even safely assume. She could very well have taken proper precautions. Even if she didn't take precautions niether your moral values or anyone else moral values get to trump her moral values regarding what she does with her own body. If she doesn't wish to be pregnant or remain pregnant you got no ground to impose your morality on her.
The baby has never had any choice about wether it lives or dies. It doesn't even choose to exist. Biology makes that choice, not that biology actually chooses anything. The baby is not a separate entity from the mother until birth.
And , yes its a selfish argument. It has to be because it only concerns the pregnant person and her alone. Wether she continues the pregnancy or ends it, in either case its a selfish decision

Abortion rights across the world means the deaths of millions of unborn babies. It's a slaughter, a mass genocide of unwanted babies. When your choices affect another living human life because of your bad choices that resulted in pregnancy you could have prevented, it's not just about the rights of the mother. With great power comes great responsibility. If the woman screws up, time to adult-up, take responsibility for your actions and mistake, put up with 9 months of inconvenience, and then give the baby up for adoption if you don't the baby. Lots of gay couples etc looking.
Again, millions of babies aren't being killed. There is no slaughter or mass genocide of unwanted babies. and it is entirely and completely about the rights of the mother - there are no others rights involved.
If she screws up she can adult up by taking responsibility for her actions and mistakes by ending the pregnancy - or continuing it, as she determines to be the best, more responsible thing to do. She is the one that is fully aware of her situation and capability. At least far more aware than you or others.
