> Being pregnant can kill you. Giving birth can kill you. Birth and pregnancy are mortal dangers. We need to let women choose themselves over their baby if that’s what they desire.

A live birth is much less dangerous than the flu so this isn't really a good argument. I agree that women should be able to commit abortions, at least for the first trimester or so, but I wouldn't say that the danger of live birth is a good motivation for it. The most important reason is to give women who aren't ready to be mothers yet more time to prepare so they are ready and actually want the child before they give birth.
