I am on record as against abortion for any reason including rape and incest. The latter two here could be served with that morning after pill.
During oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson, Justice Amy Coney Barrett suggested now that all 50 states have “safe haven” laws that allow mothers to relinquish parental rights after birth,

Pregnancy and Childbirth Endanger Women’s Lives and Health: “Pregnancy Is Not a Benign Condition”

Why are we warned in lurid detail about the minimal risks of abortion, but not told a word about the tremendous risks of continuing a pregnancy?
“Pregnancy is not a benign condition,”
said Dr. Warren M. Hern, director of the Boulder Abortion Clinic. “Women die from pregnancy.”
In 2019,
754 women died from pregnancy-related causes in the U.S. Another
50,000 to 60,000 women each year suffer severe harm to their health due to pregnancy, labor and childbirth.
“They die from hemorrhage, infection, pre-eclampsia (which can lead to fatal seizures), obstructed labor, amniotic fluid embolism, thromboembolism, a ruptured uterus, retained placenta, hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma,” Hern
explained, “and many other causes that fill the obstetrics textbooks.”
The United States has the
worst rate of maternal deaths in the developed world and has been
increasing in recent years. The maternal mortality rate for 2019 (20.1 deaths per 100,000 live births) was significantly higher than the rate for 2018 (17.4), and almost twice the rate of the U.K. (9.2).
“Pregnancy itself poses a ‘serious health risk,’”
said Hern. “A woman’s life and health are at risk from the moment that a pregnancy exists in her body, whether she wants to be pregnant or not.”

The second reason that the “life of the mother” exception is so pernicious is that it gets people in nations with pro-life laws accustomed to the concept of abortion so that it can be rapidly expanded in the future. After all, if we can legalize abortion when the mother’s life is in danger, why not legalize it to preserve her physical and mental health as well ― and then for social and economic reasons?
Seems to me that they willl find some kind of health issue for I could have done many links about the mothers
health. Just like when my old doc said there are ways before it was ever possible in PA.
BTW if a fetus is dead... it is not an abortion . That can and will infect the mother toward death.
BTW
A baby born between 20 and 26
weeks is a considered to be periviable, or born during the window when a
fetus has a chance of surviving outside the womb. These babies are called "micro-preemies."
