Right now I am not currently sexually active, so I am not on oral contraceptives. Just because it is totally accessible doesn't mean that all women are using it all the time, and that it is infallible. Women still get pregnant even using two or more different contraceptive methods, because none of them are 100% secure. That means that the need for abortions will never be non-existent, and therefore that abortion must never be restricted.
