Abortion IS being used as birth control.

Abortion as Birth Control

Although most abortions are performed for birth control, they are by no means contraceptive. Abortion involves ending the life of a developing human being by a number of surgical and medical techniques.

Using abortion as birth control means that abortion is being used as a back-up method to ineffective or improperly used contraception, or no contraception is being used at all.

wagglebee's statement was that abortion was a form of contraception. I cannot argue with the statement that it is a form of birth control, since it controls/eliminates live births by producing dead births. The statement is self-evidently true, unlike wagglebees, which is simply a semantic distortion to sucker someone into agreeing with a poorly formed thesis.

You see how much argument can be ended by an effort to be clear and accurate and intellectually forthright especially on such an emotionally fraught issue.
