I assume you're joking but figured I'd respond anyway just in case.
Yeah mostly joking but your own position re: mom vs baby made me prod a little.
We regard mom and baby as the same. In the cases where the mom's life is in immediate danger (which usually does not happen until later on in the pregnancy), there are ethical ways of dealing with the situation that don't involve an abortion. Such as inducing labor or doing a c-section to eliminate the threat to the mom's life, while still doing what you can for the baby as well.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
