The woman of course has the right to choose. Mayhap it would be sensible for expectant mothers to make those choices when they are in good health - so that their SO does not have to be in such a terrible position. I have friends who have 'no heroic measures' in their medical notes - perhaps similar should be discussed with parents to be. Belt and braces. Had I been in that situation, like many others I would have had to do what was in the best interests of my children. There would have been no safe family member for them to go to - and always the fear they would be placed with an 'unsafe' adult.
