I was going to write a long post, but I can summarize it as this:
- People who don’t want children would continue to have abortions soon after they learn of the pregnancy. There is no reason they would decide to have then later.
- People who decide not to have children would still have abortions whenever they decide that they don’t want children.
- People whose pregnancies have gone wrong would still have abortions whenever something went wrong.
None of these groups have an incentive to have abortions later.

That and...pregnancy tends to be ...uncomfortable. Why wait while that burden just increases?

What else did you really expect would happen? You can't reasonably complain if you still did it at the end of the day.

Congratulations, you've proved the exact opposite of what you set out to. Automobile insurance is one of the ways society mitigates the risks of car crashes, by funding a mechanism to pay for repairs, vehicle replacement, and medical bills for those who have been in a crash. Virtually everyone who can afford car insurance has it, and many states even require it as a condition of driving. In the analogy you're making, abortion is car insurance, and by prohibiting it you're actively trying to destroy people's lives in the event they get in a crash.
(Edit: insurance is risk mitigation. Risk reduction constitutes things like maintenance and inspection, safety features, clean windshields and functional headlights, etc. That is, contraception in this analogy)

And comprehensive sex education. Amusingly, if we were to tie abstinence-only sex education to this analogy, it would be functionally equivalent to telling people that the best way to avoid a car accident is to not drive at all.

Sort of like how Sweet Johnson is loyal to Grove Street because that is what he was born into and grew up in in that fictional universe.
The Roe v Wade ruling the pro-life camp clutches their pearls over, isn't even that extreme in terms of allowing abortion. It stated that third trimester pregnancy abortions could be banned by states that chose to but that states couldn't do anything about first trimester abortions which is when an abortion should be done anyways, if there is going to be one.

Women are not going to be treated like chattel if Roe is overturn… and there isn’t going to be a civil war over it.

No, it's not quite the same. Through the entire process, a man doesn't have any developing lifeform where as the woman does. Even under Roe v Wade, most people don't want unlimited abortion for the entire 9 months. It initially set up a trimester standard where in first trimester, states can't ban or interfere with abortion. Second trimester, states could have health standards or regulation but couldn't ban it entirely. Whilst with third trimester, states could ban abortion if they so choose.
It's objective fact that late enough into a pregnancy, a child has sufficiently developed as to physically exist in the womb and plenty of people have a problem with going about killing it in that case.

So yes. Also, before the birth control ruling, men needed a prescription to buy condoms.
1. What 'birth control ruling'? 2. When did they need a prescription for condoms? 3. Source?

What does getting an abortion mean if the exception is for rape or incest? It means proving to your local magistrate or court that you being raped occurred. This means a long process of accusation, investigation, trial, and settlement and so on to play out. Legal system and processes are glacially slow to play out and can easily be dragged out for 9 months or longer.
Seeking justice from the court for this accomplishes nothing whilst in the meantime, you're getting stuck with a rape baby or pregnancy. And certain people who want an abortion no matter what, will fake or falsify evidence to say they were raped just to get an abortion if that is what it takes.

If you haven't been keeping track, I'm now more in favor of abortion being available to women, because without it, all indications are that the non-white minority groups in the US will expand even faster than now, and that it is a worse state of affairs overall, for the White population in the US for abortion to be illegal.
But I also acknowledge or recognize where the "no exceptions" crowd is coming from on the pro life side of the debate. They're not nutcases as is popularly believed. They figured out that the exceptions aren't logistically practical enough to be worth including. People will wind up wasting too much time navigating court processes if abortion is restricted too much but are trying to prove that they're eligible for a narrow exception carved out.
Abortion is probably all or nothing. If abortion is allowed at any point during pregnancy. Allowing it early favors allowing it for all trimesters of pregnancy. Like how restricting it favors no exceptions, else the restrictions fall apart.
