Abortion might be used as a method of birth control, but most birth control methods do not kill. People who use contraceptives do not get pregnant.
It’s incredibly unrealistic to expect that people will avoid intercourse if they don’t want children.
Whenever I see someone apparently get more worked up about the use of birth control than they do about abortion, I get the impression that they care more about people engaging in intercourse without intent of pregnancy than they do about whether someone kills a baby.

I agree. Completely.
Think about it.
Killing a baby is murder, and by the parents.
It’s Biblically horrendous.
There is another issue. and It is related. In fact, the theologians prove that it is causative.

Just read it.
Now. To your point. The point people in this failing culture make, especially from the liberal point of view:
‘It’s incredibly unrealistic to expect that people will avoid intercourse if they don’t want children.’
Please, and very very simply, prove your point, and also tell us how We, in this time, from 50 years ago, are so correct, in our sudden dependence on the pharmaceutical industry for the first time in human history, that we are the only ones since the year 3500 BC who separate sex form birth, and marriage from sex?
“...they care more about people engaging in intercourse without intent of pregnancy...”
Well, what’s intercourse for?
Birth control devalues marriage. Devalued marriage leads inexorably to abortion. Chemical birth control, the pill, sometimes prevents pregnancy by suppressing the cycle. Sometimes it kills the baby. Physical birth control by insertion of devices directly kills babies. Supporting birth control is supporting abortion and other societal murder of inconvenient people. People who say they distinguish are merely saying that their chosen method is superior to others’ methods and most would have no problem with an overt abortion should the chosen other method fail. After all, they tried to do it “right” and it didn’t work. Got to get rid of it somehow.
