Specifies that any person has the right to defend the life of themselves or another, even by use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person.

This would legalize the bombing of abortion clinics

Wouldn't it also allow these same women to use lethal force on someone attempting to kill them?

No because they're in the middle of committing a crime. Someone invading your home to murder you and loot your belongings doesn't have a legal right to self-defense in the middle of the crime. Neither would the women who have been criminalized as murders have a right to defend themselves.
