The Shita that allows for abbortion is based on a tosefos. R’ Moshe held it to be Retzicha, and as the Posek Hador in america that became the accepted view, but there are many cholkim. There are even Rabbanim, who are mainstream for the Yeshiva Velt, who matir in certain cases, following R’ T P Franks opinion…
For the cholkim on R’ Moshe, it still is assur, just not retzicha which allows for heterim in certain circumstances much more so than R’ Moshe.
R’ Mordechai becher has a nice shiur on this….
