"If the birth is likely to kill the mother, one can reasonably assume that a life will be lost either way. In this case, who is to say it has to be one over the other? Answer me that..."
Exactly MY point - what gives the mother the right to choose HER life over the child's ??

Who is honestly going to choose to die to give birth to a baby who will never know her mother? Unwed mothers surely are not. I could see a married woman (with a living husband) possibly doing it, but even then it is sketchy. When a person has to make that decision, self-preservation kicks in and makes the decision for us (in most cases). God would not have given us this instinct if this were somehow immoral.
