Back when they were first debating Roe v. Wade -- yes, I'm so old I actually remember that -- people were worried that women would use abortion as a means of birth control. "They'd never do that!" we were assured. "The mere thought of that is monstrous! What do you think women are? No, we just want abortion to be safe and rare."
Now we all know monsters, don't we?
I have a friend who counsels women after they've had abortions. For a lot of them, they can't forgive themselves. They know why that container has a cover over it. I know a man who insisted his wife have an abortion overseas when he found out the child wasn't his. In that country, they didn't put a cover over the container where the arms, legs, organs, etc, went from the suction device once they'd been cut up for easy removal. Decades later it haunted him, a hardened soldier. There was no denying that was a child, not some clump of cells as the liberals had told him.
There are choices that don't leave people with regret. A properly worn condom is simple, affordable, and remarkably effective. It has the added advantage of being a good test of whether the man actually cares about the woman or not. If he's not willing to wear one, he isn't worth bothering with. I loved the line one woman said. "But, baby, when I wear a condom, I don't feel as much." Says the woman, "Honey, if you don't wear that condom, you won't be feeling a thing."

I don't give a fuck if a woman does choose to have continuous abortions. She pays her copay & procedure fees, what's the problem? Not my business or place to judge.

That wasn't the original question, was it? Do I want women to have fewer choices? I want women to have choices where they don't have to pay a high psychological price. Men would much rather women have abortions and feel guilty and possibly face not only psychological, but physical complications rather than the men just get a vasectomy or wear a condom. Like the men of the 1950's "Stone Age" they want to place all the responsibility -- and the risk -- on the woman. All in the name of "supporting" feminism.
The bizarre part is that the women are willing to let the men do this to them -- all in the name of "feminism." Seems a lot like that old-fashioned patriarchy to me.
