"Birth Control," as an idiom, implies use of a method or substance regularly that prevents pregnancy. So, when you state that most women are using abortion as convenience birth control, the implication is that these women are using abortion in lieu of contraceptives.
This is clearly not the case.
Also, when I said you are choosing the fetus' life over the woman's life, I didn't mean her existence, and I apologize for not making that clear. I mean the life she chooses. I mean her professional goals, her family life, her education, her financial situation. If a woman doesn't want a baby, doesn't want to be pregnant, doesn't want to put her body through that, what right do you have to stop her from doing so? What right do you have to shame her because she made that choice?
The fringe media would like you to envision every abortion as a fully formed baby being tossed in a blender (and then sold for parts). In fact, it is most often a collection of cells. It is most often the maternal blood or renal cells or embryonic stem cells that are donated to clinics doing research so that actual, real life, wanted babies can be saved.
The idea that you should feel like it's okay for you to make decisions about someone else's reproductive system is just ludicrous.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
