I take exception to much of what you claim.
I successfully practiced vigilance (for 16 years!) to prevent unwanted pregnancy, and when financially stable and married, we chose a day of ovulation to have unprotected sex, and within 10 days, I had clear indication of impregnation both times, even before my next period was due.
~ The female body makes very clear changes that are completely obvious. Any woman who is paying attention can tell something has happened. Those who say they didn't know are in willful denial or sadly ignorant of their own body.
~ You say, "These aren't teenage whores running around getting knocked up". Some are. Some are not. And you say, "...there is a very very small minority of women who use abortion as a form of B.C. or have more than 1 in their entire life."
Let's look at the statistics:
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/ss/ss7009a1.htm
"Among the 44 areas that reported the number of previous induced abortions for 2019, the majority of women (58.2%) had previously had no abortions, 23.8% had previously had one abortion, 10.5% had previously had two abortions, and 7.5% had previously had three or more abortions."
And this:

In 2015–2019, there were a total of 5,660,000 pregnancies annually.
Of these, 2,590,000 pregnancies were unintended.
And this:
https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states
Eighteen percent of pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) in 2017 were reported to have ended in abortion.
Approximately 862,320 abortions were reported to be performed in 2017, vs. 926,190 abortions that were reported in 2014.
Note: Abortion reporting is voluntary. Many facilities and states do not report their abortion demographics; thus this number is lower than the actual total and is only reflective of the reported abortions performed in the US.

Among the 42 areas that reported by marital status for 2019,
14.5% of women who obtained an abortion were married, and
85.5% were unmarried.
The abortion ratio was:
46 abortions per 1,000 live births for married women and;
394 abortions per 1,000 live births for unmarried women.
