>>unwanted pregnancies are better prevented than aborted<<

I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't agree with this statement. The narrative that abortion is used as a form of contraception is largely a false one, but accidents do happen. Most of the women who get abortions already have a child, surprisingly. [1] EDIT -> well, I was surprised, I guess I should say

You'd think, and yet there are pro-lifers who oppose abortion and yet also want to make contraception less accessible.

Not everybody has a rational or even logically consistent position in this.
