So please explain to me why abortion is morally acceptable or what I might be missing.

Abortion can be justified as a moral good and a moral imperative by, for example..reference to overpopulation, pain, misery, etc
Abortion can be justified as a final moral good and moral elective by reference to exclusively suboptimal decision fields, the least bad among bad options.
Abortion can be justified as the consequence of morally negative avoidance, that the prohibition of abortion is vastly worse than it's acceptance.
Good and imperative, least bad and elective, and worst if we don't regardless. Is there some moral base uncovered? Any nominally rational person can accept all three of these. Any nominally rational person could disagree with one or more of these. No nominally rational person can disagree with all of these.
-and it only takes one for abortion to be morally justified.
You're conflating "good" with "lesser evil". -10 is greater than -50, but that does not make -10 a positive number.
