Very few women who are contemplating a much wanted child ruminate about the risks of pregnancy.
It really doesn't matter what "you feel." Numerous studies have shown that abortion is less risky than carrying to full term. Even the National Right to Live Director was forced to admit this is true.

Exodus 21:22-25

22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

The same can be said for your point. These studies only seem to matter to women who don't want the child they are carrying. As I said before, most women who want a family never give two thoughts to any of this.

Know what's sadder than a person who quotes Old Testament scripture to support his position in a secular discussion? Not understanding that the quote actually refutes his position.

Seriously? After the initial joy of finding myself with a wanted pregnancy, I absolutely found myself thinking of the actual state of being pregnant, and what that could possibly involve. I can't imagine that most women wouldn't think of this at some point early in their pregnancy, as it's no small thing to carry a pregnancy to term.

I am gonna go out on a limp and say the OP has no idea when most women have their abortions when they do. Here is a hint for the OP, women don't typically wait until near the end of their pregnancy to have an abortion.

Do you talk to any women because I know my wife is very concerned about all the risks that come with being pregnant. And we both really want to have a child, so that seems to put a big hole in your illusion of women.

So, you mean to say, "Most women I know." That's valid, but surely not indicative of all women.
