I would doubt that many women think, "I don't need to use birth control because if I get pregnant, I can just have an abortion."

I would believe, though, that many abortions happen because of things like ignorance of birth control and/or how pregnancy happens (you would be amazed at how many people don't get the fundamentals) or "oh, just this one time won't hurt" or just being drunk and not thinking about birth control and other things similar. So, while it's not a conscious decision to forgo birth control during sex and use abortion after as an alternative, it is similar.

However, that said, I don't condemn those people as bad. Instead, I prefer that people be more educated (a LOT more educated) about sex, pregnancy and birth control. Although, I could write a whole post just on that, so I'll stop now.
