If the fetus is undesired , or dangerous to the mother then the state can transplant it from her into an artificial womb and take full custody and responsibility of the infant. (The assumption here is that the "transplant" is not a more medically complicated procedure than regular abortion).

Everyone wins , the mother has nothing to do with the undesired infant , will not even know its identity, nor be burdened by carrying it to viability .... and pro-lifers will get what they want ...win/win.

Just a sociological thought experiment (aka the ones used in modern physics)
