I regularly prescribe chloroquine and quinine for malaria and both are known to cause abortion. However, malaria is more likely to cause abortion than the pills in question. Therefore in prescribing these, I'm actually, over many patients, preventing abortion.

It depends on when human life begins, whether these things involve abortion. That is a matter of opinion.
