ABORTION AND ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
You can still have a healthy pregnancy after having had an ectopic pregnancy, although your chances of conception are slightly reduced.
Ectopic pregnancy is not an issue in the abortion debate. The removal of an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion and has never been considered as such either under the terms of the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act or the 1983 Eight Amendment to the Irish Constitution. Since the first description of the surgical management of ectopic pregnancy by Lawson Tait in 1884 there has never been even a suggestion that a doctor who removes an ectopic pregnancy should be prosecuted.
There has not been a single death from an ectopic pregnancy in Ireland over the last 20 years, where abortion is illegal.
In Britain, however, where abortion is legal, 4 - 6 women die from ectopic pregnancies each year.

It is still an abortion. So you already had an abortion and you are saying you would never have one?
Lol that is hilarious.

Actually I did, in 2008. I had a coworker who crassly accused me of terminating a viable uterine pregnancy because she like me is pro life. However one can’t terminate a tubal pregnancy with a d&c or suction abortion. No, instead your options are getting an I termuscular shot of methotrexate that looks like Mountain Dew If caught before tubal rupture OR having the tube removed if the pregnancy progresses.
So don’t be an ignorant ass hiding behind anonymous status when you compare a non viable pregnancy to an abortion.

So if you had a tubal pregnancy you would just die instead of aborting?
That's just plain stupid imo. Why die for something that has no chance of surviving anyway ?
