No. Birth control does help prevent the need for abortion. 98% effectiveness is significant. If men want control of their reproduction, birth control is a solution. But men have actually resisted its development.

Male birth control has not received much funding due to perceived lack of market. Also, effective male birth control was deemed unethical due to having the same side effects women put up with. The rationale was that side effects cannot be tolerated due to “no direct health benefit.” The implication is that men do not need control of reproduction. Do you want to change that or not? Because it sounds like you do.
