OK - so make an exception for that one specific condition... that automatically becomes "for the health of the mother", which is right back into the great big lie. Where do or can you draw the line? Truth be told, ectopic pregnancies are not necessarily the death sentence so many make it out to be. STATISTICS Currently, up to 1 of every 50-60 pregnancies is estimated to be ectopic.*** Over 100,000 ectopic pregnancies were reported in the US in 1992. 1 out of 2000 ectopic pregnancies ended in the death of the mother for the 1970′s and 1980′s. The mortality rate has fallen even lower in recent years due to advances in medical care. Recent estimates put it at ~3 in 10,000. At least 14 studies have documented that 68 to 77 percent of ectopic pregnancies resolve without intervention (American Academy of Family Physicians). Tubal rupture occurs in approximately 20% of cases. The statistics seem to indicate that this is the number of women whose initial symptom is tubal rupture, i.e. they receive no treatment at all prior to rupture. Studies indicate that another 10-30% may experience rupture while under medical care. Contrary to popular belief, death from rupture is rare where medical attention is available. In the US, 25-50 women die from ectopic pregnancy each year out of about 100,000 reported cases.

Because one can remove the tube without a legal ramification to the abortion.

No matter what the embryo must be aborted. It can’t be moved (yet).

Look, I’m Catholic. I’m as Pro-life as you get. Out protesting with the yellow balloon, the whole nine yards. But even the Vatican states that if the life of the mother will be lost (like dead, really dead, not just uncomfortable) and the only outcome is that both mother and child will die, they pick the least harm.

That’s the ONLY exception I want. And tightened up so there are no loopholes.
