Having these additional few days or not having them is incredibly important, depending on your jurisdiction.
In Germany, for example, for abortion (without medical indication) to be penalty-free you have to have a so called "pregnancy conflict counselling session" and the doctor's appointment all within a certain timespan. Now during covid, many of those doctors and the counselling services did not operate or only in a diminished capacity.
Those few days are nothing to sneer at.
Of course, another solution would be better/non-penalized access to these services and better preventative health care. But we're getting nowhere by just pointing at root causes without the radical action to change them.
