Because the world is corrupt.

Answer

They don't. In the United States, approximately 1% of the adult female population has an abortion each year.

The current U.S. population is about 309,000,000 (three hundred and nine million). Of them, 51% are female, which is 157,590,000 (one hundred and fifty-seven million, five hundred and ninety thousand). There are 1.3 million abortions performed in the U.S. each year (source: Related Link), which means that 0.85% of American females have an abortion each year.

Of course, the total population also counts children who are too young to get pregnant, so the actual percentage would be slightly higher.

According to Wikipedia, 20% of the U.S. population is under 20 years old. If we assume that about half of them are under 12, it would mean 10% of the population is under 12. If we knock off 10% from the total female population, it means that 0.94% of the female population over age 12 has an abortion each year.

Also, the total population counts seniors who are too old to have children. According to Wikipedia, 12.5% of the U.S. population is over 65. If we round that down to 10% (to make my calculations easier), it means that 1.1% of the fertile adult female population has an abortion each year.
