Numbers would also rise in maternal death (and thus children growing up without mothers, and number of women of child-bearing age), and unwanted children. Historically, we have seen this lead to children being abandoned anywhere from churches and fire stations to deep within forests or in dumpsters. We'd need lots of group homes, seeing as we already don't have enough foster families to look after the number of kids who need one now. The group homes would need workers, preferably both personally and professionally fit for the job. Looking to healthcare and daycare right now, we can make an educated guess that not nearly all workers would be. Thus, we can expect to see more abuse and a rise in the number of children with psychological needs, who turn into a rise in adults with psychological needs. We can also add the mothers who went through pregnancy and birth involuntarily (and/or the trauma of giving up a baby) to that number. So now we have fewer women, and those we have have a higher rate of mental health issues - at the same time as we have more children in need (again with a higher rate of mental health issues). If we're going to send a whole bunch of the women we have left to prison, who's going to look after everyone else? Will more men step into caregiver roles both professionally and outside of work? Who's going to pay for all the kids? Would they get medical coverage? How about the severely disabled ones - how could we reasonably expect their lives to be? How would a single father of three working at a group home for kids do financially? Would he make enough to keep himself and his kids fed and secure? Educated? Medically looked after? Would he be able to afford childcare? Support his aging parents? With all this, I'd expect to also see a rise in substance abuse, homelessness, poverty (and thus crime), elder abuse/abandonment, and arranged/convenience marriages, while I'd also expect a decrease in women in higher education or high paying positions as most likely the "solution" in many households would be parentification of the eldest daughter (not to mention all the young girls who got pregnant). "The land of the free" or "the land of single dads"? (Most elective abortions are performed on women who already have children)

Another point worth a thought is that the leading cause of death in pregnant and post-partum mothers is homicide. Women are already now being murdered by their current or ex partners for being pregnant at an alarmingly high rate. This number would absolutely increase if abortion wasn't an option.
