Well beyond getting the many men all female pro choicers obviously sleep with to finally use condoms. You really fail to realize the public health hazard that carrying every pregnancy to term would create.
There is only one form of "birth control" that I'm aware of that could possibly be considered as prompting an abortion by any stretch of the imagination. That form is what most people call the "morning after pill" or "RU486." Everything else is designed to prevent fertilization from happening in the first place. No fertilization means you can't have an abortion.

So if you're pro-life, simply avoid the morning after pill and you'll be fine.
