I know this wasn't directed at me, but I wanted to answer. I hope that's alright.
I hope I'm never in a position to have to make that decision. Having said that, I can't possibly think that anyone can make any moral judgement towards an individual that has to make that decision, one way or the other.
Two soldiers in the war are caught in a position where only one person can survive. Can you blame the survivor for murdering the other? Of course not. I think the same rule applies here.
-Edit- This argument only carries weight
if you can agree that the unborn child is a living human being.
If the unborn is not living, then the answer is a no-brainer. Save the mother.
