Tied into this whole mess is the thousands of years of history, running right up to today especially in many corners of the planet, where women were/are still little more than chattel, lacking even control over their own bodies, much less the right to vote or drive a car or expose their wrists.
Never happened. Women have, aside from dying in childbirth, enjoyed as high or higher standards of living and social status than men since the Venus of Willendorf. Nobody has ever had "control over their own bodies" and certainly not men, who were enslaved, drafted into armies and navies, forced to march to the far ends of the earth, and only ever "got" a "right" to vote when they took it at the end of a bayonet. The idea that women were just lowing cattle herded through history is part of the bullshit communist-feminist rewrite of history.
In fact, who do you think were the most vociferous opponents of female suffrage? Women. Because they, wisely, didn't want any part of male responsibilities. Women were the leaders in opposing the 19th amendment, the ERA, and abortion rights. It's a matter of record.

It’s pretty easy to see men arguing against abortion as just more of the same exerting of ownership over another’s body, and I can have enough empathy to fully understand why they might want to say, “@#$ that @#$”.
Not it's not easy to see at all and don't be such a sissy. If someone kills a pregnant woman, they are guilty of two murders, not one. Why is that? Because we all recognize that semantic differences between fetus and baby are just bullshit sophistry. If it's wrong for men to lord over women's bodies, isn't it wrong for women to do the same to unborn children? The fundamental inconsistency of the pro-abortion stance is so obvious it would be laughable if it weren't so murderous.

The shared sentiment is that no one really wants an unwanted pregnancy to occur. That’s a point of attack everyone should be able to agree to.
Sure, but the disconnect is that pro-abortion women want to have the freedom of men without ever facing up to the personal accountability that comes with it. Also, there's the fact that the child is 50% the father's DNA but the man-hating abortion lobby thinks that he should have no say whatsoever in the pregnancy.
