re: Do You Believe in Absolute Morality?

Killing a baby to save the mother's life in an ectopic pregnancy is the classic example.

I would think terminating a pregnancy to save the mother's life would not be an immoral action. Do you think a proponent of Absolute Morality would see it as such? Is there a difference between an elective abortion, where the desired outcome is the termination of a pregnancy, and the pursuit of a treatment that would save the mother's life but would result in the death of the baby? Those seem to be two totally different things...the motivations behind each decision are not compatible.
