The baby may need to be taken early - even extremely early. It is not necessary to wait 40 weeks. Babies are now considered viable at 24 weeks, and some have survived at 21 weeks. At that age, a medical birth is quite often less traumatic to the mother than killing the baby off by abortion.

It actually isn't a false scenario.... Just very very uncommon. We're talking a small fraction of one percent of all current abortions where it is TRULY the "mother or the babies life! Choose!".
A more disturbing occurrence for me is the other big allowance brought up which is "in cases of rape or incest". Sitting here it is rather easy to tell someone else that being raped is no excuse to kill the life within, but then I imagine a hypothetical situation where my wife was raped and pray to God that He gives me the strength to not drive her right down to the local clinic to get the perps "offspring" flushed down the nearest toilet as soon as possible. Incidentally pregnancy from rape isn't nearly as common as all the other reasons either.
