Problem here is the treatment was the abortion. It wouldn't have been a side effect like the removal of fallopian tubes as MysticCat mentioned above. So the intent was to abort the child to save the mother's life. See also 9 year old rape-victim.
And I'd compare Excommunicati Vidanti with the shunning that occurs in some Amish or Jehovah's Witness groups as well.
However when you say something's simple and you break out the Latin, most people's brains just give up  |
Yeah, but that logic is BS, too. The fallopian tube is not what is hurting the mother in an ectopic pregnancy, it is the fetus. Treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is just a well accepted termination of pregnancy for protection of the life of the mother. Many times now days, we don't even have to do surgery to treat ectopics but give methotrexate to terminate the pregnancy. It's all semantics.
