Seeing whereas abortion is a very popular topic for memetic engineering here, I have decided to put together a compiled list of abortion memes for easy reference:

The following six memes are especially effective in reframing the abortion debate. Use them as often as possible:

2.) FETAL RIGHTS, 3.) FETAL CHILD, 6.) FEGEISM/FETAL AGEISM, 21.) MURDERING OUR NATION'S CHILDREN, 34.) ANTI-FETAL RIGHTS EXTREMISTS, 35.) PRENATAL JUSTICE, and 36.) GYNOCENTRISM/GYNOCENTRIC BIGOTRY

LIST OF ABORTION MEMES:

NOTE: The 3x3 shape of the frames below has to do with syntax manipulation based on an a lingual algorithm I developed. You needn't worry about the details though. Just use the words in clusters like these in conjunction with each other and remember to use the specified definitions below. The language is pre-engineered according to the algorithm so it should be effective if you use it as stated. One needn't understand the details of the algorithm of one doesn't want to.
--------------------------
Abortion (Ethical Discussion Frame)

1.) FETAL HOMICIDE: Use interchangeably with abortion and illegal forms of feticide.
2.) FETAL RIGHTS: Rights of fetal children.
3.) FETAL CHILD: Unborn child has become associated with "kooky pro-lifers" so we need something more subversive. "Fetal" is a term related to the term pro-aborts often use but "child" is a term that humanizes an unborn person hence we splice them to get people who disagree with us to bite the bait. (I've tried this before and it actually works over time)

4.) PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY: The parents obligation to carry the fetal child to term.
5.) RECOGNIZED SEXUAL LIABILITY: The inherent liability in having sex of having to be responsible for carrying a child to term.
6.) FEGEISM/FETAL AGEISM: Ageist discrimination against fetal children due to their stage of development. People who deny parental responsibility to fetal children are "fegeists." The term is supposed to be a multi-purpose branding tool. (use emotionally like how some scream "racist" or "sexist")

7.) FETAL ABUSE: Child abuse against fetal children.
8.) PRENATAL DISCRIMINATION: Treating fetal children unequally to born children.
9.) UNPLANNED PARENTHOOD: The state of having an unplanned pregnancy.

---------------------------
Abortion (Personhood Discussion Frame)

10.) RATIONAL PERSONHOOD THEORY: A theory personhood that can be described in black and white propositional logic.
11.) IDENTITY PROPERTY: The property of personhood being applied to some specific being. (this way they can't try to get into some squishy arguments about defining personhood as a property that gradually appears over time)
12.) PROPOSITIONALLY DEFINABLE PERSONHOOD: A definition of personhood that is not relativistic or "squishy." (ie it can be pinned down as a definitive concept)

13.) OBJECTIVE ETHICAL SYSTEM: Ethical system based on some sort of external reason (ie not existentialist or relativist)
14.) OBJECTIVE CONCEPTION OF PERSONHOOD: A repeat of 12.) the idea being to sort of bamboozle with multiple terms.
15.) ETHICAL RELEVANCE: Self-explanatory. The idea here is to label all relativist notions of morality as irrelevant and a waste of time.

16.) OBJECTIVE THEORY: A theory based on hard logical statements (ie not relativist or existentialist) (16, 17, and 18 are supposed to be used if someone insists on using fuzzy logic when discussing personhood)
17.) LOGICAL CONCEPTIONS: ideas that can be spelled out as logical propositions.
18.) ESSENTIAL CONTENT: the content of the logical propositions in 17.)

-------------------------
Abortion (Conflation with Patriotism Frame)

19.) FETAL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS: Self-explanatory
20.) UNPATRIOTIC: Self-explanatory
21.) MURDERING OUR NATION'S CHILDREN: Self-explanatory, use with self-righteous undertones

22.) FEGEIST ABORTION POLICIES: pro-abortion policies
23.) DECLINES IN DEMOGRAPHIC CORRELATED TRENDS: Bamboozlespeak for declines in population caused by abortion and secondary effects of that decline in other areas. (eg. social programs, immigrations etc.)
24.) DEMOGRAPHIC IMPLOSION: Unsustainably low population growth (use as fearmongering term)

25.) UNVIABLE POPULATION: A society dangerously below replacement rate.
26.) DETRIMENTAL SOCIETAL EFFECTS: Negative effects caused negative population growth
27.) NATIONAL INTEREST: Self-explanatory

-----------------------
Additional terms:

28.) ABORTIVE MOTHERS/ABORTIVE PARENTS: Mothers/Parents who get abortions.
29.) PRENATAL EQUALITY: Equal rights for fetal children as for their mothers.
30.) FEMALE SUPREMICISTS: Pro-abortion feminists who opposed prenatal equality.
31.) FETICIDE OFFENDERS: People who illegally cause the deaths of fetal children (eg. those who perfom/get illegal abortions, and violaters of the Laci&Connor Law.) The idea here is to eventually be able to use this for others who get abortions as well.
32.) FETAL RIGHTS ADVOCATES/FETAL RIGHTS PROGRESSIVES: Pro-lifers.
33.) FETAL RIGHTS OPPONENTS: Pro-choicers
34.) ANTI-FETAL RIGHTS EXTREMISTS: Adamant pro-choicers
35.) PRENATAL JUSTICE: Legal obtaining of fetal rights.
36.) GYNOCENTRISM/GYNOCENTRIC BIGOTRY: Focus on mother to the exclusion of the baby.
37.) PARENTAL RANSOM DEMANDS: Insistence that pro-lifers pay for all of the unwanted children. (used to counter the "if you're pro-life why aren't you adopting" red herring)
38.) 3RD/2ND TRIMESTER INFANT: A fetal child in the third or second trimester. The goal here being to gradually eliminate the concept of a "fetus" in the public lexicon by moving towards much simpler easier terminology that uses the same term for both an infant and a fetal child -thus eliminating the need for two sets of terms.
39.) PRENATAL INFANT: A fetal child usually in the later stages of pregnancy. The idea here being to blur the line between fetal child and infant, thus gradually eliminating the artificial distinction between "fetus" and "born baby."
40.) BORN FETAL CHILD: Same as above but with a born infant instead. Again to blur the distinction between "fetus" and "born baby" away.
