The woman may lose her life, in childbirth. And don't "exception for danger to woman's health" me -- this can happen completely unexpectedly. Everything is going great, the pregnant woman has had a great checkup within a week, and suddenly, boom, shit happens and she almost dies.
I guess you could say "tough luck, people die unexpectedly all the time" but I will refer you to SD's "tough luck" being a fetus in the wrong woman at the wrong time.
And do you know how many non-adopted kids are out there? You make women who would rather have an abortion have kids, some of them think they are so cute that they keep them when they're born. During these kids' childhoods, a decent proportion are going to be given up by or taken away from the mother, when they are older and far less adoptable.
Even before that, women who don't want a baby to the extent that they are willing to have an abortion are unlikely to take care of themselves during the pregnancy, meaning that the resulting children are more likely to be "imperfect" and thus less adoptable.
I mean, shit, how many 8-y-os with fetal alcohol syndrome, who weren't read to as kids and had crappy nutrition as kids and are discipline problems, have you adopted lately?
