Reagan's law allowed abortions for "mental health" reasons. In practice, that meant abortion on demand; it's very easy to get a shrink to say you need anything for your "mental health." Not so... it allowed abortions when there was a "substantial risk" that continued pregnancy would "gravely impair" the "physical or mental health" of the mother.
Not quite the same thing.

any abortion for health of the mother instead of life of the mother will be easily exploited
