The mother is the carrier, if you will. Without her, the fetus will fail to mature. If it's within the first moment of the first cell dividing, until the child enters the world and breathes its first breath, the woman is the child's ONLY chance to succeed.
Obviously, medical science has been able to take over when the mother's life has been taken (i.e., accidents, illnesses, and a C-section is performed to SAVE THE BABY'S LIFE...).
But, again, arguing DNR orders and abortion are two separate threads...
Back to topic - Abortion...
