Pro-life atheists

I am aware of that, and have addressed them earlier in the thread. I know pregancies still take place in third world countries, but if we had a first world country where the government will pay for the procedure and we had good foster care funding, is it really still such a risk to the mother that it bears mentioning?

Yes, absolutely. Having top notch doctors does not negate risk, nor does access to medical care magically mean risk is gone.

Only when you can show the risk is zero, not near zero, can you avoid consideration thereof.

To do so otherwise with non zero risks denies a patient from making decisions about their medical care and self determination.

Not that we really have either of those things in USA, but I'd still rather work on that than see a bunch of abortions.

The problem with your statement is you lump all timescales of abortion together, while also ignoring access to information to make informed consent.
