There are people who do not want to have abortions. Either for religious reasons, because they themselves belong to a specific disability group (e.g. the blind and deaf) or because they tried hard already to get pregnant in the first place.

Especially for the latter, "make a new one" can mean a ticket reaching into the 6 figures, months of egg extractions, implantation attempts and spontaneous auto-abortions.
