Your example is flawed.

If a woman's life is in jeopardy from a pregnancy gone awry, a surgeon does not come in to perform an "abortion." He comes in to perform a surgical procedure to save the woman's life. A surgeon in this situation would do all in his power to save the fetus, not abort it, along with saving the mother. There are times when this very result occurs. There are other times when saving the fetus does not succeed, perhaps due to stage of development. If the fetus unavoidably dies in such an instance , no reasonable person would even think of calling it an "abortion." Nor did the law view that as an abortion when abortion was a crime.
