Abortion, BTW, does not fit neatly into this framework, because there is a debate of when the fetus becomes a human individual with the rights of an infant. Even if you think the answer is obvious, the question is presently being debated.)

Whether you have a right to keep and bear arms is currently being debated...does that mean you might not have that right?

You're missing the point. The debate on abortion is not -- or ought not, at least -- be a debate over whether a right exists. It is a debate over at what point in development does a fetus have rights.
