FOUR OUT OF TEN pregnancies are terminated by the killing of the egg.

The the context of abortion being legal. It would very likely be a lower figure in situation without abortion being generally legal. Partially directly because of the legal situation, partially because of the change in attitudes that would be necessary in order to achieve that legal state, or at least for it to be durable.

In any case 4 out of 10, simple doesn't equal evidence of a crime that would justify preemptively detaining or disabling the pregnant woman. Some group being statistically likely to commit some crime, even extreme cases of them being very statistically likely to do so does not equal a state where everyone in that group has committed a crime, or is currently plotting to do so. "4in10" doesn't equal the "actual plans" that your referring to.

We have been discussing abortion of her ova or egg.

No, you don't have abortions of ova. You have abortions of a fetus or an embryo.
