First, this is a false scenario according to many medical doctors. The goal must be to preserve life of the mother and child.
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.
