The bolded is, as I understand it, a mischaracterization of the Catholic perspective. There's no "we're not really terminating the pregnancy" going on; everyone knows full well that will happen. But they are not engaging in the procedure for the purpose of terminating the pregnancy; they're doing for the purpose of saving a life, even though termination of the pregnancy will be an unavoidable consequence.
