Because reality isn't that simple. Lets say Thorgrimm knocks up his cousin again and the fetus has a chromosomal disorder? What if Unsunghero keeps drinking while he's pregnant and now the fetus has some serious lifelong developmental disabilities? I bet they wish they could talk to a doctor and have the freedom to make a decision on what they think is best.
So perhaps its best to not create mandating laws and instead allow for the freedom of a mother and doctor to make a decision on what they think is best.

Because just like rape those are overwhelmingly rare scenarios and the vast majority of abortions are performed simply for the convenience of the mother. Like Jib said there can be exceptions I'm fine with, but doing away with about 90% of the dead babies in this world is overwhelmingly humane and in keeping with the sanctity of human life. Which is important.
And again I'm not a religious person at all, but you don't have to be. I'm a humanist, so it's hard to be okay with millions of needlessly dead human babies. I like to be consistent in my principles.
Also I don't think contraception failing is legitimate grounds for an abortion; you assume some amount of risk with any contraceptive, and a responsible person understands that. And that goes for men too; if you knock up your girlfriend I think you should stick around and be a father- you took that risk.
