if you said "no", your birth control is stopping or limiiting your ovulation.
I've heard the anti-choice crowd talk about birth control equating to abortions- and once again I disagree buit want them to be consistant.
we must also ban certain heart medications (if taken they can cause a miscarriage), lets limit anti-depressants because they cause both birth defects and miscarriages, and all the other medications which can "kill" or "harm" the "child"

How do you know that such pills are always stopping ovulation with 100% certainty? The same hormones are used in Plan B, so maybe you had started ovulating prior to taking the pill or skipped a few days and then caught up?
Basically, just using birth control is all part of the pro-choice movement, and I doubt there is a single pro-choice adovate that wants to see a single abortion performed because of the hassle, costs, and even the minimal risks which are lower than carrying a pregnancy to term given equal healthcare quality.
Ultimately, it comes down to what is clearly a human being, aka person, according to the rule of law, which is the only place that society has for defining what is and isn't a person.
The society as a whole is overwhelming firmly in the belief that a person exists only after the first breath after being taken from the mother.
Certainly some want one definition to control women when it comes to making their actions illegal, but then want a different definition for all other legal and political purposes.
For example, I doubt that a single person would argue that merely fertilizing an egg by any means inside the US would result in a US citizen at that point. I'm sure Palerider would make that claim, for example.
