It's possible. Let's say the woman is diagnosed with cancer while pregnant. Treatment for cancer very likely cannot start until the woman is no longer pregnant. Waiting longer for cancer treatment, after the child is born, may be too long in order for the mother to have a good outcome because of waiting months in order to start cancer treatment.
Other illnesses come into similar play. Sometimes there may be a pre-existing condition whereby the woman is physically unable to grow a child. It's just too much strain on her body for her (and a baby) to survive.
I'm sure the Republicans are looking to close a potential loophole whereby a physician can simply declare the woman's life is in danger in order for her to get an abortion.
Honestly though, I think they should just take the "W" and not overplay their hand. The good news is that since the abortion issue has been returned to the states we can have 50 "experiments" going on to see what approach works best. Brace for horror stories (real or contrived) where a woman died because she was not allowed to get an abortion.
