Legal contraception created the mentality that lead to legal abortion.
In 1930, Anglicans allowed contraception for "hard cases"; before that, every single Christian denomination was against it. Then, one by one, they allowed it. The Catholic Church on paper doesn't allow it, but turns a blind eye in practice.
Once the idea became fixed that sex and procreation need not necessarily be linked, and that babies were "preventable", then abortion was the logical next step. The Ukraine legalized abortion in 1920 (but atheistic free-love Soviet communism had already destroyed religion and the family by then). One by one, other countries legalized it.
