What are some good pro-choice arguments? Also, any good research on this topic I could read up on?

A solid strategy is to bring up circumstances such as rape or risk to the mother's life. Pro-life people don't tend to have any solid arguments against those.

I just tell them Roe v. Wade was a matter of privacy, right wingers love privacy.

Most anti-choicers already make an exception for those cases.

It's a health issue and about the ability of women to have control over their bodies and reproduction.
The same right-wing ideologues that now champion anti-abortion issues would have supported ideas like forced sterilization of poor people or minorities back in the first half of the 20th century (before the NAZIs made these ideas too unpopular for US politicians to openly advocate anymore).
These right-wing politicians have no leg to stand on when they obviously don't care about children once they are outside the womb (cutting school programs and meals for the poor, evicting poor families etc - not to mention bombing tons of men women children and fetuses in wars).
Unborn babies do not ask to be conceived or born and yet women obviously can make a conscious choice. Legal or illegal women have terminated unwanted pregnancies as far back as we know - in older societies they'd just give birth and expose the baby like in Greece or Rome. So in fact, the fetus has no rights, no demands, not will of its own as long as it depends on the mother (if right wingers want to have unwanted unborn babies transplanted to their bodies, then maybe there could hypothetically be an argument:lol:). So these bigots are not fighting for "life" but to control what other people do since the fetus inherently has no part in the decision.
Or as David Cross puts it... what, does abortion offend you? I'm sorry were you aborted as a fetus?
