I'll risk getting flamed here and say that I think a woman should have choice in some limited circumstances. No one has seriously proposed that not be the case, given the caveate that we are dealing with reality and not some abortionist fantasyland.
Abortion probably should be limited to ectopic pregnancies, where only one life is savable anyway.
For abortionists, "health of the mother" boils down to, "I might get upset if I don't get my way."

I've had discussions with my mother about whether or not I could abort my child if it were a health risk to me. For me, it's an easy answer, absolutely not. I would rather die so that my child may live. I've already lived a full life, my unborn child has not. I would glady die for my child so that he or she may live. Yes, he or she may grow up without a mom, but under no circumstances could I or would I kill my unborn baby. Even if that means I have to die in the process.

I believe the following stats are self explanatory. Even the stats for women and fetus health are misleading due to the original posted scenario. How many of the 6% were legitimate health issues. Also planned parenthood promotes their efforts because "we get many" who have rape/incest. All abortion is intrinsically evil therefore it is not for we humans to play God.
