Dear Joseph,
No, I am on solid ground. Saving lives is critical to life centric Judaism. You cannot push away a life, regardless of gender.
I have never defended this to a non-jew. None ever brought it up to me. Some Yidden have mentioned it to me. Sometimes I corrected them, sometimes not. If I can divulge some personal information here, I am a terrible apologist. If someone has a moral question on halacha which I cannot answer, I like to say I am not gifted with Divine Intuition.
