An unborn baby at only 2 months can feel pain.

No it can't.

"Taking on one of the most highly charged questions in the abortion debate, a team of doctors has concluded that fetuses probably cannot feel pain in the first six months of gestation and therefore do not need anesthesia during abortions.
Their report, being published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association, is based on a review of several hundred scientific papers, and it says that nerve connections in the brain are unlikely to have developed enough for the fetus to feel pain before 29 weeks."
The second source even addresses criticisms, which amount to ad hominem attacks on the researchers. Anti-abortion critics point to the development of stimuli when in fact the cortex does not form until the third trimester.
The most premature live birth occurred at 22 weeks, and the baby had to be kept for another four months to properly develop.

If you don't bother with a contraceptive then it's your own fault. That leaves the other 2.

Partially. We can also lay blame on the abstinence programs that have turned droves of children and young adults into ignorant masses of biological occurrences. The Danes have one of the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in the world.

Abortion should stop being used as a form of birth control. It should be used for very very few reasons, none of which are light.
1) Mother will die giving birth.
2) Young girl raped.
Actually, sitting here right now I can't think of any other reasons that those that would be acceptable for inflicting pain and death on a tiny human. And as far as accidents, or whatever else might pop up, there is such a thing as adoption.

You can't support abortion in cases of rape and then dismiss the concerns of women who had accidents, or even who chose against protection methods. Either abortion is murder or it's not.
I say not.
