As far as I know that case isn't even considered abortion by any mainstream pro-life organization.
I was surprised they didn't mention this case until I realized it didn't even count in their view.

This is true.
Some pro lifers want zero exceptions, but it’s extremist.
The anti-abortion position needs to be looked at in the context of eugenics, https://courses.lumenlearning.com/culturalanthropology/chapt...
That it really took off in the 1960s+ isn’t surprising with Nazi death camps fresh in everyone’s mind, leaving a very bad impression with anything tied to eugenics and its proponents.
While I don’t agree that abortion is equivalent to eugenics—-sorry, if my wife were to die otherwise I’d choose abortion—much of the revulsion has its moral roots in the argument against eugenics.
