Wow, nobody ever thought of that!
The fact is, accidents with contraception happen. They always will happen. Risks are also taken from time to time. Shit happens.

Abortion is an awesome way to deal with it if you don't want/can't afford a(nother) baby.

Dunno, never thought about it, give me some examples.
Heart disease caused by an unhealthy diet. Diabetes caused by an unhealthy diet. Lung cancer or lung disease caused by smoking. STIs. Gum disease caused by not brushing properly. Malaria after not taking the full course of anti-maleria tablets. Colon cancer from eating red meat. Etc. Etc.

Abortion is illegal except where it is deemed medically necessary when the foetus is developed enough to be considered a baby, so that's nothing to do with this debate. We're talking about removing an unwanted parasitic growth in the uterus that could develop into a baby if it isn't removed.
