Let's say this woman was raped. OK, Leviticus 22 says she shall be stoned to death. So, by this reasoning, if she were pregnant from the rape, God's law is to have others abort by killing the woman.

Childbirth is a way to terminate pregnancy that is not abortion. Whether a normal deliver or a c-section, the goal is a live birth, not killing the baby.
Also, some babies die during pregnancy, and the pregnancy must be terminated by a D&C or induction -- since the baby is already dead, that's not abortion, either.
Anencephalitic babies are sometimes delivered alive via c-section or vaginal birth and they live for some time. An abortion is not "mandatory" in these cases.

When the mother's life is truly in danger, as in ectopic pregnancy or uterine cancer, no-one - not even the Catholic Church - objects to the mother receiving all necessary medical care, even if the baby dies as a result. However, having an anencephalic child does not place the mother's life in direct danger, so killing such a child is indeed abortion.

It is still abortion either way. That's the technical medical term for terminating a pregnancy. Even a miscarriage is a "spontaneous abortion".
I assume what you're asking is whether or not it's always WRONG, not whether or not it's ABORTION.

Perhaps more opinion than answer (your question seems to want opinion):
Abortion should be permitted in cases of rape and if the mother's life is at risk.
Everything else: Have the baby and give it up.

Upwords of 80% of all fertilized human eggs either self-abort, or do not emplant on the utereus. It would appear that nature (or God if you like) is fairly picky about what it allows to be considered for life.

YES!
There have been cases where the parents were told that the baby wouldn't make it through it's first day,week,month,year etc. or that the child would be mentally/physically (my cousin, my sister, me) handy capped and the parents said they didn't care and their baby turned out just fine!

Yes, terminating a pregnancy is always abortion.

In some cases, Christians approve of abortions...
In some cases, Christians are smart too...

Well there's the idea that if the fetus is a person then killing it is murder. People try to say "Would you kill a 1 yr old to save yourself?" and compare it to a fetus.
