In my understanding, a doctor would ONLY okay this procedure if the mother's life or health was at risk. Other examples: The child is already dead or has some deformity or abnormality.
If the child is already dead, why would this be an abortion? If you are talking about "deformity or abnormality" define for me which ones you are referring to.
Got any links or anything else to suport your "understanding".
What do you understand "a risk to the mother's health" to include??
Or, perhaps more precisely, can you think of anything that would not be covered, regarding a pregnant woman, when speaking of "risks to her health"??
