I think (and here's the second time today I find myself defending a position on abortion rights that I do not personally hold) it's based on the notion that abortion is bad enough that if a woman has sex voluntarily, it would be considered a tacit agreement to carry the child to term, but not bad enough that pregnancy should be forced onto her if she hasn't theoretically agreed to the risk through sex. Since it's a rather middle, moderate position in a society that is divided on the issue, it's not unreasonable that a lot of people would hold this position.
