I'm not sure "anti-abortion" is useful in these terms.

Medically-induced abortion is sometimes the only procedure that can save a woman's life in the event of a truly tragic pregnancy problem. I would not want to outlaw it as a medical procedure. I do want it to be a "this baby is dead anyway, and the mother's in danger, something must be done" last resort for doctors. The ideal is that the doctor attempts to save both patients, but if that's not possible, then having at least one live is better than both dying.

It's elective abortion that the debate centers around for most people.

"Anti-elective-abortion" is fine.
