Pregnancy and childbirth carry a non-negligible risk of death, even in technologically-advanced countries and for healthy women. In addition, many women are not completely healthy, and have conditions that make pregnancy and childbirth dangerous to their life and health. "Pro-life" advocates want to remove the option that these women have of terminating an accidental or otherwise unwanted pregnancy, because the life of the fetus is more important than the health risks it poses to the woman.
