In an article regarding the potential legal landmines post Dobbs it discusses a potential exception that might be used in states that ban abortion except to save the life of the mother.  Instead of worrying about how sick the mother is just use EMTALA which requires stabilization.  There are also potential landmines in the care of miscarriages, fatal fetal defects, or who to report.  Aiding and abetting is another potential problem versuss counseling or making a referral.  Basically this will all play out over the next year or so after laws become clear.
