Early on during a pregnancy you could say that there isn’t even any life yet (there isn’t really a medical or philosophical consensus). With what you’re saying, abstinence or using a condom would be just as “bad” as an abortion, as you would be deliberately denying the creation of life. As far as I know, mifepristone mostly comes into use within the early stages of a pregnancy where it’s hard to say whether there is even any life yet or not.

Lastly, I don’t think it’s fair being happy to disallow half the population from making their own moral or medical decisions just because that doesn’t align with your own personal philosophy. No one is forcing abortions onto anyone, so if anyone believes that abortions are unethical then they don’t have to get one. Everyone should have the freedom to choose.
