Ignore the first one as I was unclear.
If technology advances to the point where even young embryos can be saved after an abortion, will pro choicers claim woman will have the right to tell the surgeons not to save it?

If they're the ones who will have the responsibility to care and provide for it, I think the answer is yes.
What bugs me about these abortion debates is that rarely do they ever get to the heart of the problem. Sex education, contraception, and family planning. Education in these areas would eliminate the need for most abortions. The wrong questions are being asked, and the wrong topics are being discussed.

I think the general approach to such situations would be the mother is giving the baby away for adoption or whatever. The technology solution seems to null arguments of "My body, my choice" which is essentially what the pro-choice crowd has been shouting for years.
Otherwise you're certainly right that the vast majority of situations can be avoided with education.
