Remind me again - who in the history of the world has ever not been ok with abortion to save the mother?

I remember a notable Irish case where a mother died because the doctors refused to perform an abortion. Led to a constitutional change.

Woman dies after abortion request 'refused' at Galway hospital (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-20321741.amp).

There have been cases like this in America but I’m not going to look it up. Fortunately the other commenter did. Hope this changed your opinion :)

You're vastly underestimating how cruel people can get, especially when they are on religion.

The line isn’t clear cut as at risk isn’t a guarantee.

Multiple US woman have already died when doctors where unwilling to intervene despite significant issues being present. There’s a lot of politics involved but as an example Josseli Barnica died in 2021 before row vs wade was overturned and doctors where refusing to act over legal concerns.

A few very religious people, but I don't think any of those had traction to get that into law in the US recently.

What do you think those "9-month abortions” people talk about are for?
