if the mother’s life was in fact in danger, then this is a moral gray area. These instances are not the same as elective abortions and should not be treated as such.
I would point out that no abortion is good, but unfortunately, in some instances, due to medical emergency, they can be nessecary to save the mother.

if the mothers life was in fact in danger, then this is a moral gray area. On another thread dealing with this, someone posted a doctor's medical opinion that the pulmonary hypertension would only be an issue in the last trimester, and that both the mother and the child could easily have survived at that stage.

And where does the bible teach that killing a baby to save the mother is right? My mother was told by doctors to abort me because she could die if she had me; my parents refused, and thank God, we both came out alive and well. If they had decided to abort me, they would have been committing murder; if she had died, it would have been following the natural course of nature.

It is not a gray area.
