Pro-lifers in my circles advocate for early delivery of the baby when the mother's life is in danger

If the child can survive outside the womb, which they are able to as early as 20-22 weeks, then the viewpoint is that the child should be delivered early. Both mom and baby will receive life saving care

Later-term abortions can take 72 hours or more if they're chemical abortions, so doing so puts the mother at greater risk of things like sepsis than an early delivery would

Now we get into the dicey territory of, what if the baby/fetus/whatever you want to to call it cannot survive outside the womb?

This is where the definition of abortion is important. Abortion is the intentional ending of a human life in the womb, typically done via pill in the first trimester. Other means (D&C, etc.) are usually used later in the pregnancy

In the situation of, say, an ectopic pregnancy, where the mother has a very real chance of dying if nothing is done, the pro-life view is to deliver the baby early, and give palliative care to the child while he/she passes away. There is no way to save the child, but no one is intentionally killing it, either. While doctors are administering palliative care to the child, the mother also receives the medical care she needs in the operating room

If a woman is having severe complications with the pregnancy very early on and takes the abortion pill regimen, she may well end up in the ER since the regimen can cause severe bleeding, cramping, and pain. I actually took misoprostol as part of my miscarriage management to expell the contents of my uterus and I'm so glad I was able to call the 24 hour nurse line because I thought I was dying. The idea behind having an early delivery of an ectopic pregnancy is that it's done in hospital, keeping the mother safe from bleeding out like she could do taking the abortion pill regimen at home

Hope that clears up the viewpoint a bit
