Is the Principle of Double Effect Legitimate When It Comes to Abortion?

Is it just a cop-out to cite the principle of double effect when the unborn baby dies as a result of saving the mother’s life? What should lawmakers do when it comes to situations where the mother has to choose between her life and her baby’s life? Should she be forced to carry the baby and die as a result?

Thanks for sharing the principle. My wife and I were potentially in a situation where we would’ve had to choose between her life and the baby. It would’ve helped if we had some sort of ethical guideline to tell us what was the right thing to do.
