Great job putting together such a good list! There are three films on this list that are among my favorite movies about anything: 'Never Rarely Sometimes Always,' 'Cider House Rules,' and 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire.' I'm not yet sure which will get my vote: they're all such beautiful films that deal with the subject matter with nuance and thoughtfulness.
FYC:
Cherry (2022) (to be released this month)
Obvious Child (2014)
The Contender (2000)
Where Are My Children? (1916)
The Surrogate (2020)
If you're including documentaries:
Like of Fire (2006)
The Janes (2022)

A lot A+ CinemaScore movies that feature divisive topics or polarizing issues turn out a big audience of fervent followers the first night and skew the results from what an impartial reviewer might grade the film. Unplanned got an A+ from CinemaScore, a 5.6/10 user rating on IMDb and a 10/100 meta critic rating.

Nymphomaniac - Part II. There is a very disgusting scene of an abortion. But only in the uncensored version. In Germany we got different classifications. FSK16 - You won't see the abortion. FSK18 - Full Programm. But I regret to have seen it. It's unbearable. Maybe it doesn't fit for the list, just wanted to notice the movie.

I have reviewed every suggestion. Knowing that the subject is controversial, I haven't look at the IMDb ratings to make my choice. Nevertheless, I didn't include any film with less than 300 votes. Exceptionnally, I chose to include documentaries: documentaries are often far ahead fictional films in regards controversial issues (Death Penalty, Climate Change, Abortion, etc.)
I added:
Obvious Child
The Contender
Where Are My Children?
The Surrogate
Lake of Fire
The Janes
Unplanned
Saint Frances
Roe v Wade (1989)
Roe v Wade (2019)
If These Walls Could Talk
Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer
Three Families
Reversing Roe
After Tiller
24 Wochen
Blue Valentine
Love with the Proper Stranger
El crimen del Padre Amaro
I removed:
Juno
To Each His Own
Penny Serenade
Knocked Up

Too bad, the list is full. This most recent movie entry has an all-star cast and couldn't be more about abortion. Plus, it is a pretty decent movie on its own merits.
