How bad was Scott Walker's answer regarding abortion during the Debate?

[SNJ1985]

It sounds even weirder given the discussion was about him not even wanting to give women abortions to save their lives.

What alternative is he promoting to women? Death in childbirth?

Abortion is actually never necessary in order to save a mother's life:

We won't even get into ectopic pregnancies.

There are procedures designed to save mothers' lives which, sadly, may indirectly lead to the deaths of their unborn children; but these procedures aren't abortions in the true sense of the term. Killing the unborn child is not the intent behind such procedures.

That's the point the article I linked to tries to make.
