medical experts would disagree with you. our character's life was never at risk for dying until 33 1/2 weeks, when suddenly her health took an unfortunate turn. at that point the babies were viable.
your statement would actually result in more unnecessary abortions, not fewer, because if you looked at the hypertension at 20 weeks and determined that might lead to the life threatening condition later, you'd end up aborting two very viable babies.
the point is, you can't predict every complication. and because you can't screen or predict every complication unforseen medical expenses will result, and long term (possibly life-long) health consequences may result for both mom and baby. how do "pro-lifers" intend to deal with these circumstances in the real world? no "pro-lifer" has ever been able to adequately address this issue.

oh well that's a realistic expectation. if human beings are good at anything, it's resisting sex.
wishing for an inhuman world doesn't solve the human problem.
