It's 99%. The common exceptions: 1) rape/incest and 2) ethical preservation of the mother's life account for a combined less than 1% of the total figure. That's true whether it's the CDC's 62 million since 1972 or Guttmacher's 90 million figure.
These are ultra-rare exceptions. Rape isn't terribly common. It's even less common to result in a pregnancy, and the situations in which a young, pregnant mother has her life imperiled are even rarer.
As you said, the Democrats here are trying to argue the rare exception justifies the rule.
