Birth control prevents birth. While most birth control prevents conception or implantation, it is true that abortion - chemical or surgical does terminate the pregnancy.
The point is, people only get abortions to prevent birth. Not for shits and giggles and because they had a spare afternoon after getting their nails done. Either women have the right to control their bodies or they don't. You can't say that X number of abortions is acceptable but X+1 isn't.
No matter how many (I suspect mythical) women there are having abortions once a month because they can't bother with prophylactic measures.
