I understand your distinction, but not your difference. There is an absolutely guaranteed contraceptive procedure. That is called abstinence. Anything less than that carries risks of pregnancy. What you seem to be saying is that if a couple uses no contraceptive devices and the woman gets pregnant she is not morally entitled to an abortion as a contraceptive alternative, but if they try some contraception procedure (maybe rhythm?) and she gets pregnant then they are morally entitled to use abortion as a back-up contraception procedure. In either case, there is a possibility of pregnancy and a possibiliy of no pregnancy, and in either case the couple is relying on abortion for the sole purpose of contraceptive use. In my view, you're trying to split an unsplittable hair.
