Should the government stop abortions?

You don't seriously believe that, do you? The idea that having sex without getting pregnant is killing a child? There is no child if there is no conception.

The reasons you give are reasons why contraception is a sin to Catholics, but even the Church, one of the most antiabortion institutions in existence, allows for sex that's intended to not impregnate in the form of natural family planning.

Nor do they think that using a condom is as grave a sin as getting an abortion.

Reel your extremism back in, Chaz. I know you don't think that way, and I don't know of anyone who actually does, so let's be real about this.

The condom kills the child just as efficiently as abortion, just even earlier.

Completely wrong for the above reason. There is no child if the sperm is stopped by a prophylactic.

The fact that you draw the line at conception is wrong. Yes, that cell clump isn't alive until the DNA mixes, but stopping that DNA from mixing is just as bad.

Again, completely wrong. Destroying a life and preventing a life from forming are two very VERY different things, and I don't sincerely believe that there's any pro-lifer who thinks they're the same. They're on two totally different levels of bad.

Regardless, without any intervening action, a child will be born.

Because every act of unprotected sex results in conception, mirite? Not that that even matters, here...
