Judaism allows abortion to save the life of the mother so it doesn't classify abortion as murder. If a choice has to be made, then one should save the life of the mother since she can have a child again. But Judaism doesn't approve of abortion on demand. A necessary evil can never be a positive good and Judaism's principle, after exalting God, is to affirm the holiness of human life.

For a very long time (I think since Roman times in fact) the medical and ethical position has been to put the life of the mother ahead of that of the unborn child, in the tragic circumstances when such a horrid choice has to be made.

Personally I’m quite sure that is right.
