Regardless of whether the conceptus is implanted in the womb or not, it is a living organism and to intentionally create conditions that will flush it out of its natural environment is an abortive act. To obfuscate the issue of what is aborted, for the social benefit perceived by Dr. Boving and adopted by the ACOG in 1965, the longstanding definition of pregnancy was limited to after conception to allow for abortifacient contraception to be considered non-abortive. It was calculated and employed. If that's not an agenda, how do you define having an agenda? There was a specific goal and action taken to bring that goal about.

"On demand" is colloquial. Your insisting on calling it "request" is the emotional appeal. If it's a request, that implies that the request could be denied. Do you support the right to deny a woman an abortion upon request? I didn't think so.
