What is the church’s teachings on which life should be spared when mother or baby will die if the pregnancy continues or at the delivery of the baby? Has this answer changed at any time in church history?
 
Hi,

The Church teaches that every effort must be directed toward saving both. The direct killing of either is immoral.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
