There is no state which outlaws D&C for incomplete abortion or induction of labor for fetal demise.

Neither of these are abortions.

No state outlaws fallopian tube removal for ectopic pregnancy. I suppose that is sort of an abortion. No state outlaws surgery to remove an abdominal pregnancy. I suppose that’s also sort of an abortion.

That pretty much covers emergencies which can result in removal of a fetus.

It’s all just propaganda.

And none of those would be emergencies in the sense something needs to be done now. They can be scheduled procedures.

Yeah - lame attempt at trying to look relevant and in charge, as if they're doing stuff, doing something new.

There’s one other, a condition called preeclampsia. In rare cases it can’t be controlled and the baby has to be delivered. The hope is always that the baby will survive.

All of these cases have one thing in common: the health and possibly life of the mother is at stake. In none of these cases is the death of the baby the desired outcome. Very different from abortion.
