You wouldn't(or shouldn't) just pass a law one day and make drugs legal either, you'd think about supply and distribution. We should ensure that all the other prevention measures are implemented, and then perhaps the more drastic choice of abortion would become a historical footnote, much like the recent societal changes regarding smoking habits.

The big problem with your proposal is that the people who oppose abortion are for a large part the same that oppose use of contraceptives and have much more conservative women rights ideas. So I don't see this happening.
