Thanks kurtr but I didn't read anything in the article you provided that stated that the mother was going to have life threatening complications from the undeveloped fetus brain fluid leakage. The article said that either two scenarios happen a miscarriage or stillbirth, so what I gather from the article is the mothers life is not jeopardize from an anencephaly type pregnancy and espringers must of interpreted two totally different scenarios.

Did someone say no one has ever died from pregnancy? You gotta be smoking dope to say such a thing!!! There is actually even medical term for it - maternal mortality. It includes deaths from complications of pregnancy and childbirth. I’m not using this info in any way to argue about abortion but to whoever said no one has ever died from pregnancy well, that’s as wrong as a statement can get.
I did again even by your example of maternal mortality there are two example Direct obstetric deaths are causes of death due to complications of pregnancy, birth or termination. For example, these could range from severe bleeding to obstructed labor, for which there are highly effective interventions.[8][1] Indirect obstetric deaths are caused by pregnancy interfering or worsening an existing condition, like a
heart problem.[1]
Better clarification would be that the fetus directly caused the mothers life to be in danger not by way of unforeseen complications due to hemorrhaging blood loss, which if I'm not mistaken is preventable or a mothers underlying health issues.
So again tell me how are those examples justifications for termination of a pregnancy, they are not directly affected by the fetus.

Another quick example would be: if a person was to have his leg taken of becuase he felt that his leg was actually presumed to be someone else's leg. There is a mental disorder that is an actual medical diagnosis even though the leg is his in his mind if he doesn't get his leg cut off he will die. As far as what I have been told there has never been a instance of a case where a mother would have died from direct complications of a fetus. Both examples in my opinion are caused by mental health issues.

I see where my original post could be seen as confusing and should have originally stated complications caused by the fetus, instead of saying complications of pregnancy which is too broad of an example for justification for an abortion.
