What the Church believes is that it is always a grave, horrendous act to kill a child directly-- like through an abortion-- which gives absolutely no chance to the children involved.
In this case, then the young girl pregnant was at a possible life risk, the Church states that all possible methods may be taken to save the girl's life except that which directly kills the babies- an abortion. However, even while protecting the mother, all possible care should be taken to protect the babies as well. If the babies should die indirectly do to necessary medical attention to save the mother, it is very different than directly murdering something.
