I think it's even more basic than that. Men don't control the reproductive process after impregnation- but they want- at a basic level- to reproduce prodigiously (all organisms want that- at the genetic level). If women can eliminate their efforts they lose even more control over a process already rife with uncertainty for for them- after all sex is not all that efficient, as we know, in getting everyone pregnant. So I can understand why men oppose abortion- it make women even more able to control what genetic material she wants to nurture- it gives her the ability to rethink her consent to a male's impregnation of her.

What is harder to understand is other women who go along with this. But let's face it- lots of women are religious. Religions are male dominated and highly skewed to favoring male objectives. So religious women have been co-opted by a male power structure they don't even think of as male (why this obliviousness to the obvious male bias I'll never know).
