7. I do agree with you, but I have some caveats.

An abortion is a medical procedure. It is safe, but as with any medical procedure, I think if it can be avoided it should.

I certainly have no moral objection to having a tooth pulled, but there is the slight risk of infection or complication. So if flossing prevents its necessity, let's give the flossing a go.

If a woman wants to use contraception and can't afford it or doesn't have access to it, and then gets pregnant and needs an abortion, I think that is a less desirable outcome than if she wanted the contraception, had access to it, took it, and never got pregnant in the first place.
