Direct abortion not necessary to save women's lives

Here's a video of testimony from an international conference on maternal health, sponsored in part by Personhood USA.

Here are some good quotes from the video.  At 40 seconds:

Direct abortion is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman. We affirm that there is a fundamental difference between abortion and necessary medical treatment needed to carry out to save the life of the woman, even if those treatments result in the loss of life of the unborn child. We affirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect in any way the availability of optimum care for pregnant women.

At 3:40:

[Legalized abortion] is not a component to improve maternal health. That is a matter of scientific fact.
