Sure it does, if you're about to have sex and don't have birth control you don't worry if there is an abortion option. And your stats don't say that those using it other than an emergency is tiny. It refers to repeat abortions, which as a pure number is not tiny.

Well, duh. It was illegal before. Everyone pretty much acknowledges that reliable pre-Roe statistics are impossible to come by.

Which proves my point, that if you limited abortion then you would have fewer abortions and more people acting responsibly. Which is exactly what I said before, that your numbers are skewed because if abortion were illegal you would have fewer people seeking them and getting unwanted pregnancies. And of course some of those pregnant would end up keeping their babies.
Point being, you can't just look at the number of abortions and assume that's how many adoptions you need. It would never happen that way because abortions would be fewer for various reasons.
