They happen normally because Mom's life is seriously endangered, or the fetus won't survive outside the womb.
There is no serious danger to a woman's life that would be solved by an abortion, but would not be solved by inducing labor or a Cesaerean delivery.
Absolutely.
Like the free market has done anything about abortion one way or another.

Abortions in young girls are not uncommon, experts say
Abortions in young girls is not uncommon, according to experts.abcnews.com
The story of a 10-year-old rape victim traveling from Ohio to Indiana to receive abortion care captured headlines earlier this month, illustrating what impact the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe V. Wade, a landmark decision which established a federal right to abortion, has had on access to abortion for people around the country.
While many attempted to discredit reporting surrounding the case, the identity of the suspected rapist was ultimately revealed when charges were filed against him. But still, it remained unclear how common abortions are among young people, especially minors.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health policy research organization, there were 4,460 pregnancies among people ages 14 and younger in 2017. The institute estimates that around half of those pregnancies, 1,960, ended in abortion.
The institute gathers its data by conducting a census of all known abortion providers in the U.S. every few years, but its most recent publicly released national data is from 2017.
While data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019 is more recent, the data is incomplete as not all states mandate reporting from all their health facilities and not all states report their data to the agency, Isaac Maddow-Zimet, a researcher at Guttmacher, told ABC News.
Lauren Ralph, an epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco's Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, told ABC News in an interview that she believes the CDC's abortion data is an underestimate by about 1/3.
Abortions in minors represent about 4% of all abortions in the U.S. every year, Ralph said, speaking of data gathered by the Guttmacher Institute.
The Guttmacher data shows that abortions among people between the ages of 15 and 17 account for 3.4% of abortions in the U.S and abortions among people under the age of 15 account for 0.2% of abortions in the U.S.
The free market is the best way to guarantee a child a decent environment growing up. You don't seem to be following the thread of the argument you are making.
MAGAs priorities are not concerned about our freedoms at all. They feel rights can be surrendered in the quest for safety from the things they fear. Life doesn't work well when you start from such a negative premise.
You don't know that at all, or you would provide evidence.
