“But to completly dismiss the Achiezer, Seridei Eish, Maharit , R’ Yaakov Emdedn Tzitz eliezer, R’ Shlomo Zalman, chavas Yair, Minhas chinuch, Rashi, Tosfos (some Baalei Tosfos there is a machlokes) among others as not even existing!?!”
You are right on most of those accounts, but i believe that Rav Shlomo Zalman considered abortion to be Retzichah for Jews also, like Rav Moshe. Also, Rashi’s Shitah is vague like some of the other Rishonim, and Rav Moshe assumes that Rashi holds it is Ritzichah. Also, although there is a Tosafos which implies that it’s not, Rav Moshe assumes that it’s a Taus Sofrim.
