Of that 15% most occur during the first trimester, before the fetus can survive outside the womb. The fetus lacks all the functions necessary to make it human...
I realize it makes allowing abortion more palatable to dismiss the fetus as inhuman but consider that by the end of the first trimester,
"...nearly all of the organs and structures of the fetus are formed. They will continue to grow and develop until delivery. Fingers and toes have separated and hair and nails begin to grow. The genitals begin to take on their gender characteristics. Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the baby's kidneys begin to produce and excrete urine. The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice peristalsis - contractions within the intestines that digest food."
