My actual issue with your argument is in the way that you see abortion somehow related to "population control" and contraception. What is needed most to address these issues is education and it is in fact needed even more than contraception, which is also needed. But contraception itself does nothing without proper education and teaching people in the third world why they should want to raise only 1 child instead of 10-20 children as is their traditional wisdom of "survival of the fittest" or "the more babies I have the more likely one will survive to adulthood".
And my argument to sum it up for you is that preventing unplanned pregnancies is always a far better option then terminating them, and that termination leads to long term psychological and psychophysiological disorders, and thus adoption is a preferred option to avoid these. And that's backed up by facts and not emotion/opinion.
