In reply to the discussion: Bill in Missouri makes it illegal to get an abortion if the patient has an ectopic pregnancy. [View all]Red Pest

This bill violates all ideas of human decency. They would put a woman's life in danger for their own twisted ideas. The fetus will die within a few weeks after implantation in the Fallopian tube before growing fetus causes the tube to rupture. When that happens the woman has only a very limited time to get emergency surgery to resolve the ruptured Fallopian tube before she hemorrhages and dies. I know because this happened to my wife and if she had not gotten to the ER in time to get emergency surgery she would have died. As it was, she required some significant recovery time.

They keep proving over and over again it's not about "life" but about control of women.

And if a woman will die from this, it's illegal to go out of state to save her life?
