I can see how it would be repugnant for many women, and that is fine. Just don't force that opinion on anyone else through the law.
My uterus is only my business.

It is both ethically and morally wrong in most cases. But for every rule there is an exception. Sometimes a woman's life is put in danger by the baby. In cases like this it might be better to abort the baby. If you keep the baby and the mother dies, who is going to look after the baby?

Having sex not for procreation if morally fine.
Our bodies can miscarry if a mother is under mental or physical stress because the body will assume the baby can not be looked after. This is morally fine.
In a modern civilisation stress is harder to come by and one can not will a miscarriage to happen. Since we do not find doing what cats do appealing, we have developed a medical procedure. This is morally fine.

There is a point where a fetus is definitely not human and a point where it definitely is human. The space in between is quite hard to define. I think abortion before a point where we can clearly see that the fetus isn't human is fine. This is akin to females losing ova through menstruation or men losing sperm through ejaculation. Cells aren't human. Cells aren't sentient.

I think we need a situation to decide whether an abortion is wrong or not. And few people have problems with any form of birth control, unless you count Plan-B.

Yes. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.
