ectopic pregnancies - Web Site Ectopic pregnancies do not all wind up in death for the child or the mother. Many can and do survive. JivinJehoshaphat Thank you. But, there is a difference between what you just stated and what the title stated. In a semantical and ontological war, we have to be careful not to over- or under-state what is real.

Sorry about the empty comment.
How is the abortion debate ontological? There is no argument that the unborn baby exists.

The author of the article is not talking about ectopic pregnancies. Though it does end a pregnancy, removing a fetus growing in the fallopian tube is not even considered an abortion. The pregnancy is not considered viable.
It is not true that many can survive. The baby never survives in the tube, because it ruptures if allowed to grow. Very rarely a fetus implants somewhere else in the abdominal cavity and, while risky to the mom, some do survive.
But aside from ectopic pregnancies, most "high risk" pregnancies can be dealt with in a way that preserves both the mother's and baby's life. It is not possible in every single case, but in the vast majority, it is.
