I think law would not require a number. Law knows that a doctor making an assessment of risk is using their judgement. So even if there was a baseline, the doctor will be able to leap it if he wishes. So my suggestion is to leave the judgement of maternal risk to the life of the mother to a doctor.

I think that is how things work now once thresholds are passed, but I could be wrong.

If a mother wishes to avoid the normal risks of death via pregnancy, she has plenty of time to do so in my model. But once the threshold is past, the jelly and its heartbeat also have protections.

ON that matter of life of the mother,

In all cases (particularly in the US), carrying to term is a greater threat to life of the mother than abortion, at pretty much any stage other than the rather late stage things which are likely outside of this discussion

So, what defines life of the mother? Again, abortion in all its forms prior to say week 26 improves the life chances of the mother. So in all cases, carrying to term is a life threat, comparatively, to the mother. How are we to describe law around this?

What is "mainly - life of the mother"?? Is it,sure as hell she's gonna die, is it, well, she is only twice as likely to die? Law would require I imagine a number, could you provide one (knowing, that in all cases, she is safer if she aborts).
