Yes, but there are some who would consider that an abortion because you are killing an unborn child.

Perhaps, but as I try to explain in #1230, that is not a precise use of language, and leads to misunderstandings.

The difference is in a procured abortion, you intend to kill the child. In a surgery for an ectopic pregnancy, you intend to save the mother's life (by removing part of the fallopian tube), the child dies as an unintended (but obviously anticipated) result.
