That is a ridiculous standard. If you would call pregnancy life-threatening, you would have to call eating life-threatening as well: Far more die in the United States from food poisoning than from all complications of pregnancy, added to all complications and medical errors in delivery, combined.
But whereas eating is a risk we all take (and for good reason), pregnancy presents a very discernible risk that would not otherwise be present and that should not be forced on anyone. If the woman does not wish to take such risks upon herself, it would be wrong to deny her the capacity to rectify the situation.
Last Note: Would it not be even more wrong to deprive what you've acknowledged to be a living human, one which has committed no harm, its single and most fundamental right?
