I think that this might be a reasonable case of the pregnancy literally not being human, on a basic level, in which case natural law as usually construed doesn't apply. I mean, recall that she has a nightmare about birthing a maggot. Such a thing would be prima facie an abomination, not a person, like a cow with human limbs grafted onto its back.
If, however, you take the sequel as cannon then the pregnancy was human in the relevant sense- just deformed -and so a good case for her being unentitled to terminate can be made.

My BooksIt is precisely “values” that are the powerless and threadbare mask of the objectification of beings, an objectification that has become flat and devoid of background. No one dies for mere values.~Martin Heidegger
