Pardon my intrusion, gentlemen, but I am confused as to what your argument is in these posts.

It appears that you, Solon, are saying, 100% of these rulings on this issue have supported the right to kill the fetus in cases where the "woman's life is endangered by physical disorder, physical illness or physical injury". and I think the woman and her husband and society would normally fight to preserve her life and not that of her fetus.
And J.C. says, Would leaving the fetus within a mother who may die be favoring the fetus? Would removing the fetus from the mother be favoring the fetus?

The only difference that I see between your questions or statements is the word kill. If a mother's life is in danger, the life of that woman is paramount. The fetus/child cannot live without it's mother's womb and nutrients. If a fetus/child is developed enough to survive outside the womb, a caesarian is performed and the child and mother are treated as two separate lives.

Certainly, the courts do not use the word kill when referring to these rare exceptions.

Where is the difference in your positions?
