The problem isn't birth control in and of itself. The issue is a combination of at last two factors.
1. Promiscuity.
Abstinence until marriage would solve most of the problem in and of itself. "Hookup culture" in particular is a major factor.
2. Reliance on non-foolproof methods, and complacency due to the pill.
The more care it takes to practice a birth control method, the higher the chance of failure due to human error. The birth control pill in particular has bred a sort of complacency in which many people think that preventing pregnancy is as easy as popping a pill, which can lead to sloppiness (forgetting to take it some days, etc). Before the pill existed, some people were extra-careful, using multiple methods simultaneously (such as both a condom and a diaphragm at once). Some people still do, but it's far less common now due to the more casual attitude toward birth control today.
Ultimately, 100% reliable, foolproof birth control exists, but it involves completely avoiding vaginal penetration every single time (ie, the "Monica Lewinsky method" and several others). However, the current culture does not promote the idea that vaginal sex is too dangerous unless one is willing to risk pregnancy, so few people are willing to commit to consistently avoiding it.
It's one thing to sleep around, it's something else to have a child out of wedlock.
Semi-Reliable birth control is what fuels promiscuity & fornication. But that's the thing, it's a trap. Because we're taught to have 'safe sex' people will take more risks because they have the illusion of safety. Ofc some people will get through and have fun without getting pregnant, but many others do not --> 60 million dead.
Take away birth control and you will drastically reduce promiscuity and you will drastically reduce abortions.
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God” 1 Cor 6:9-10
The birth control must go. It should be made a capital offense.
