Since the 1970s, there have been over 46 million legal terminations in the US. Imagine what would have happened if they had all been carried to term. First, we'd have that extra 48 million population, plus many of them would by now have their own children - say another 40 million, and some would have grandchildren - say 20 milliion. That would have increased our current population from 300 million to over 400 million - nearly a third more people to care for, accommodate and find work for.
Now look at who would have cared for those people. There are currently (according to the US census) 1.8million homes with adoptive children. So to get parents for the 48 million people, each family would have needed to adopt an extra 20 children - unlikely at best. So most of those children would have grown up in the care of the state. Note that adoptive parents rarely want anything other than a perfect baby. Crack babies, babies with FAS, or any other genetic illness, downs syndrome, or indeed just not good looking, end up stuck in a group home or foster care for their entire childhood.
Even leaving aside a woman's right to control her own reproductive system, and the marginal cases of rape and incest, it would be an economic disaster to this country if terminations did not occur.

Most women get an abortion because:
1) they feel they cannot give a child a proper upbringing at that particular time in their life (usually because they're in school)
2) they lack the social and/or financial security to enable them to do so
3) carrying a pregnancy to term will cause severe health risks
If an abortion is done properly at a clinic or hospital the side effects are minimal. The woman experiences cramps and vaginal bleeding for several weeks afterwards, and is usually advised to not have sex for a month to six weeks following the operation in order to give the body time to heal.
