The woman had a large blood clot in her abdomen and the doctor said she would die if the pregnancy wasn’t terminated.

No.

She had a large blood clot and was given a overdose (gee wonder how that happened) of blood thinner. It also damaged her kidney.

This is what her doctor said, Sheldon’s doctor advised her that the overdose of Heparin might have also harmed her 8-week-old fetus and, given the possible fatal repercussions to her, he recommended that she abort her pregnancy.

When you parse that you discover that the baby was not a threat but that it might have been "harmed". So let's just kill it.

The abortion did not save her life. It did kill the baby though.

I wonder how she overdosed on heparin? That’s the only real possible malpractice I see here. Perhaps the doctor’s recommendation was really meant to cover his own butt. They’re going to fault Romney for presenting to this woman another point of view? Seems kind of a weak October surprise to me.
