As a ardent pro-lifer, I’ve always left open the option of aborting a baby to save the life of the mother if that was her choice. I tend to think that most, if not all women in that situation would choose the life of the child over their own.
Another scenario would be where the husband would be forced to decide the fate of his incapacitated wife over the life of her unborn child. You’re forcing someone to choose to let their wife or baby die, not something I would ever want to face but not at all unreasonable or evil for someone to choose their wife.

you are confusing “life of mother” with “health of mother”
Health covers everything from common cold to emotional.
Life means someone’s going to die because of a life-threatening, medical procedure/intervention.

Yes, especially a young future mother who has people who love her more than anything. I’m sure her husband, parents, children and friends would fully encourage her and fully understand her decision.
In reality, suicide is never the answer and to stay and fight is the strongest action. In both motherhood and politics.
