re: Prior to Roe v Wade being overturned I had no idea that abortions were that common.

Ectopic pregnancies are not viable. If the pregnancy is allowed to continue, it will rupture and possibly kill the mother. Ectopic pregnancies can happen to any woman, even married women who want the baby. Doctors are scared to act before rupture due to the abortion laws. This is one of many examples of why it’s not always a ‘lack of conscience.’
The Ectopic Pregnancy argument is absolute shite. Every single state with an abortion ban has an exception for physical danger of death to the mother, including ectopic cases. An ectopic pregnancy is easily diagnosed and proven with a simple ultrasound, so there is ZERO danger of prosecution of physicians. This is one of those boogeyman arguments that the Planned Parenthood crowd uses, and its complete and utter horseshite.

You are misinformed. Plenty of examples online. The ambiguity and vagueness in the laws create issues for the doctors who risk criminal prosecution, loss of license, fines, etc if they are wrong. That’s why they are scared to act before it ruptures. Ectopic pregnancy is just one of many issues that can arise. Women shouldn’t die an otherwise preventable death. Other women suffer from infertility due to delayed medical treatment.
From one of the articles:
"When is it OK for me to act?" Huntsberger said. "Do I wait until she bleeds out? Do I wait until we do CPR? When is it that I can intervene? How close to death does she need to be before I take care of her?"
