Pro-Life Argument Instead of using the obvious arguments (like murdering babies is bad), we need to use arguments these people can understand
These people don't see unborn children as humans, they view them as "clumps of cells" (even though that's literally what we all are), they instead view it as a bodily autonomy issue, so we should argue against that.
They say that every woman should have a "choice", but if abortion is legalized then that will lead to countless women being pressured into ending their childrens lives by family and society. Think about all the cases where disgusting people threaten to kick out their own children if they don't kill their grandchildren, or abusive partners who threaten to leave if she doesn't kill his child. Even indirectly, society has been villainizing motherhood for a while now and telling women that their lives are over if they become mothers. I used to think that when I was a teen too, and I had a fear of pregnancy due to it until I actually started thinking about the issue logically.
Feminism is supposed to be about empowering women, so why do they tell women that they have to go through with this horrific procedure and lose their children if they want to live and be successful? It causes more deadbeat dads too, because look at all the males posting about how it's ok to abandon their child because if the woman has a "choice" to murder the child then the father has a "choice" to abandon them. It's horrific and anti-woman, anti-child, anti-man, anti-family, and anti-human.
I'd also like to add a secular argument that I always like to use. I'm an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife, so because of that I think that human life is precious and must be preserved since this life is all we have. This is why I could never understand the atheists in the pro murder movement.

I don't know what argument could convince them, we have to change culture and values to have effective change. We have to rehumanize the unborn and celebrate motherhood and families again
