I am anti-abortion, and although you didn't change my mind on the subject, this is definitely the most well put reasoning for abortion I have read/heard. I am definitely pro contraception and voluntary sterilization. Those are very wise choices for someone who doesn't want to have a child.
However, if a human life is started through consentual, unprotected sex it's hard for me not to see stopping that life as murder. It's certainly changes things when you get into rape and incest and, yes, I can see why a woman should have control over her body as well. It's a very difficult and touchy subject indeed.
