That is what you said.

A similar legal contract forms every time you have sex consensually. You are either intending to make a baby, or are using contraceptives. Contraceptives aren't perfect, leading to unwanted pregnancies, a consequence of casual sex. The legal contract that would exist in the case of abortion being illegal(except in certain circumstances) would require a woman to give birth. A similar contract occurs when a man has sex, requiring the man to provide for the child regardless of whether or not the man wants to. It's a legally binding principle designed to preserve morality and a decent quality of life for the child.

In the case that abortion is allowed, both parties are free to escape from their legal obligations.
