Here is the problem, as I see it:
Do Nothing: Mother and fetus die
Do Something: fetus dies
In doing nothing, you are aborting the baby and killing the mother. Is action the only way to abort? No. In this case, inaction would also result in an abortion, albeit, a spontaneous one. It is a passive abortion.
In doing something, you are only aborting the baby. This is an active abortion.
Is it better to have a passive abortion and lose another life or have an active abortion? Either way, there is an abortion.
