the very rare cases where death of the mother is a high possibility

Even in those cases, abortion might do more harm than good. If a woman is already very sick or injured, a stressful surgical procedure with a high risk of infection isn't exactly smart medicine.

However, I was referring in my post to the general state of pregnancy, of which I have considerable experience, not the exceptional cases.

Perhaps such cases are even rarer than I implied. Nevertheless, my premise was that justification for abortion would be limited to self-defense.

Understood, and I agree.
