>> So this bill could make it much harder for women with ectopic pregnancies to get the abortions they need.
I wouldn't call what they need an abortion, and I find it *very* hard to believe that it's difficult to get treatment for ectopic pregnancy at any tertiary center in the USA, especially if the mother's health already is in peril. If the law is an ass about it, IME physicians, nurses et al will make a stand for the good of the community.
As for fetal death- sheesh, acceptance is close to 100% among every physician group and religion AFAIK that you take care of the mother and end the risk. Pennsylvania must be a weird place. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
