to save a mother's life.

According to the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5):

Whoever destroys one life is as if he destroyed a whole world, and whoever preserves a life is as if he preserved the whole world.

Apart from an overall regard for the sanctity of life, Judaism finds other reasons to forbid abortion:

killing a fetus breaks God's command to populate the world

killing a fetus destroys something made in God's image

killing a fetus is wanton destruction of part of God's creation

killing a fetus destroys something that could become a being

killing a fetus is an unjustifiable act of wounding
