“Ectopic pregnancies occur in about 1 out of 50 pregnancies, and are a true life-threatening event for which the only option is an emergency abortion.”

Not to quibble — actually, I'm making a point that strengthens your argument — but the way many ectopic pregnancies are dealt with is not equivalent to an abortion. An embryo lodged in a fallopian tube can be removed, along with part of the tube, without directly killing the embryo. Will the embryo die when it's removed (if it hadn't already died when it got stuck)? Yes, the embryo will die. However, there are premature babies who die after emergency c-sections are performed because the mother is, say, hemmoraghing. The embryo in an ectopic pregnancy doesn't need to be “crunched” as that abortionist said on that video.

That is a distinction that really means nothing.
