Ireland's rate of 2 per 100,000 would tend to suggest that either (1) In the U.S., non-life-threatening pregnancies are more likely to end in abortion than life-threatening ones, or (2) some factor other than abortion causes Ireland to have a maternal fatality rate 1/6 that of the U.S.
If Ireland's lower maternal fatality rate was due to factors other than abortion, any attempt to judge the effect of abortion on it would be meaningless. If the lower rate is due to the abortion ban, that would suggest that life-threatening pregnancies are kept (versus aborted) at a disproportionate rate compared to non-life-threatening ones. I suppose that's possible, but it seems unlikely.
You’ve completely missed the point.
Which is to prove that pregnancy related death is a NON-issue when it comes to discussions about abortion. They happen so infrequently that to use it as a decision making factor in the debate over abortion is nothing more than an attempt to distract attention from the real issue.
