Your stats sum up to "85% of abortions are chosen by women who are not ready to carry a pregnancy to term."
It's no one's business to force them. It's not your duty to enforce God's law. If you think abortion is a mortal sin, then that's a matter between the woman, her doctor, and God.
The Hebrew verb רצח (r-ṣ-ḥ, also transliterated retzach, ratzákh, ratsakh etc.) is the word in the original text that is translated as "murder", but it has a wider range of meanings, generally describing destructive activity, including meanings "to break, to dash to pieces" as well as "to slay, kill, murder".
It means "thou shall not break", "dash to pieces", thou shall not "slay, kill, murder".
Do you think you're meant to use any discernment in that?
Or do you think maybe this requires you to gently swipe the ground in floor of you as you walk, as some Buddhist monks do, to avoid killing an insect?
There are people who take the Bible very literally, and they have Shabbat elevators that run on a schedule all day so they can avoid pressing buttons, which God prohibits on Saturdays. Do you think those people could use some discernment?
“Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us. For we know the one who said, “I will take revenge. I will pay them back.” He also said, “The Lord will judge his own people.” It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

I think murder is a sin yes. Are you cool with murder?
What did you have for lunch today? That was a living, sentient creature. Are you a murderer?
What is the meaning of the relevant commandment? Thou shall not murder:
It means "thou shall not break", "dash to pieces", thou shall not "slay, kill, murder".
