Of course sex isn't just about making babies, theres an emotional side to it as well. However that's no excuse to just brush off sex's main function as a "side effect".

Well it might have been the main function when were starting out as a species but as of late (especially in the past 100 years) sex has been more about the love between two people and the pleasure they can feel.
So what I am trying to say now is that Sexual relation's main purpose now is to share love or pleasure between people while it's main function is to reproduce, and sense society has become more of want's rather then needs I would say Sex now in more for relations and less for function

In humans, sex has always been about more then procreation. It has been about love and strengthening the bonds between two adults. It's a social activity, essentially. This is why only about 5% of sexual activity actually results in a child. This is why humans have developed other methods of sexual activity beyond intercourse, it's why we can mate year round and not just during specific seasons when we are "in heat" (as is the case with other animals were mating is ONLY for procreation). Humans aren't even the only animals that mate for pleasure and bonding: this has also been witnessed in Bonobos.

In fact, the idea that sex is purely for procreation is the far more recent construct, probably stemming from religious beliefs, and probably developed for practical purposes to prevent mothers from having children with unfaithful mates, and being forced to raise those children alone.

Also, in my opinion, abortions in the seventh month, when 90% of fetuses are able to survive outside the womb, should not be legal unless the mother's life hangs in the balance and there is no other way. I'm a little surprised an abortion at 8 months is even legal.
