Surely fertility and abortion are choices women must make for themselves. Pregnency and its effects, i.e. birth or otherwise affect more than just the baby or the mother, it is about both and, to some extent, the wider community in which they exist. Each woman must make their choices based on their own beliefs and values and the things they wish to achieve. Many would see child birth as an achievement and some may not, but it must be a personal choice.

Your original post was asking for views on both. Personally i think birth control is a good thing and has not only allowed women to control their own fertility but also helped to control the population of the world. In terms of abortion, again i feel this is the womans choice and from my point of view a life is not a life unitil it is capable of sustaining itself; i.e. at a point where it would survive independantly of either the mother or technology. I appreciate this may be a controversial view and mean no offence by it.
