Pro-life people refer to the "life" of the mother, whereby any legitimate medical procedure necessary to save the life of the mother which results in the death of the child, is not considered an "abortion."
This is the position of the Catholic Church, btw.
I’m looking at the title of the article, and it IS correct.
Abortion is currently LEGAL for the health of the mother.
It’s not the correct MORAL position to take, but it is, in current law, legal.
We’re seeing the contrast between man’s law and God’s law here.
