While obviously understandable (not to mention: should be legal) in scenarios three and four, "justified" is a wee bit thick. Voted only options one and two.

I want to talk about Option 1 for a while, because it is one that is very near and dear to my heart.  My mother was given a very little chance of living when she was a pregant with me and still suffers some side effects of that pregnancy.  Could she have aborted me?  Of course she could have, but she choose to take the risk and give me life.  She told the doctors to save me and not worry what happened to her.  This is mostly the reason I am pro-life because if I had a different mother I probably would not be here today.

But in the case of option 1, in like at least 99% of cases, the fetus is positioned such that it ruptures the internal organ it's implanted in as it grows, causes massive internal hemorrhaging, and results in the death of both of them.

You think it'd be better to simply let all of the women die who were not as amazingly fortunate as your mother?
I doubt she was *amazingly* fortunate, as I doubt his case is directly equivalent to option one.
Very much fortunate, obviously. My grandmother was much the same way with my youngest uncle btw. (Yeah well, and nineteen years later she was dead anyways. Still, I'm happy to have my uncle.)
