The study is not based on women being asked their opinion of risk. The study analyzed data related to birth outcomes and complications. It isn't heartless to find out how many pregnancies caused complications for the mother. Nor it is heartless to determine how many abortions caused complications. Having that information can lead to better healthcare. How is that inhuman?

I am genuinely puzzled by your post.
