Life saving surgery in terms of an abortion is when the mother could die if she doesn’t have an abortion. The first link I found says that less than 2% of abortions are for the mothers physical health or life saving: https://www.hli.org/resources/why-women-abort/
Saying abortion is “life saving surgery” is pretty much a complete lie. Only in very, very rare circumstances is it true. Pro-abortion lobbyists and activists need to stop using it as an argument and focus more on how it can ruin a child and parents lives if it’s an unwanted pregnancy, because that is something that is plainly evident for all to see. The chances of anyone on here even knowing someone who has had to have a “life saving” abortion is next to nil.
