Having sex and being pregnant are two different things. One can willingly have sex and be forced to carry a baby to term (if this is what is being proposed). They are not one in the same.
So yes, the argument does work. You can not force someone to carry a baby to term. And until you can, making it illegal does nothing to curb abortions and only hurts women and babies.

It's fairly easy to avoid unwanted pregnancy. What is sex intended for again? Oh that's right--for every species on this earth it's intended for reproduction.

Reproduction and, as research is being done, social reasons. They are both important depending on the species. We are finding out more and more about the social implications recreational sex has. It's not just about reproduction anymore.

Women who have sex know what could happen and they've made their choice already when they do it.

They have made their choice about the sex, yes. Luckily, as this is real life, her choices do not end there. She continues to make choices after she has sex and one of them could very well be to end her pregnancy.

Until women who have consensual sex and become pregnant understand that their choice resulted in a natural process of creating a new human life--a new and innocent human being--that is not to be interrupted--especially by a murderous and appalling "practice," nothing will be solved.

Contrary to popular belief, women are not stupid and do not need to be universally educated about the fact that they have a human being growing inside of them. In fact, some might be surprised to find out that the growing fetus is the first thing on a woman's mind when she finds out she is pregnant and even when and if she decides to end her pregnancy. Because unlike many on the pro-choice side... women are capable of thinking ahead to AFTER the baby is born and whether or not it will have 1) a good life 2) clothing and shelter 3) quality education 4) health care 5) food OR whether the birth of the child will subtract such elements from already living children in her care.
