No, you are cutting out the misplaced (ectopic) pregnancy that is growing into the wrong structures and threatening to KILL the mother. Ectopic pregnancies are not always in the fallopian tubes either. They can occur on the ovary, in the peritoneal cavity, in the junction between the fallopian tube and uterus. You don't always have to remove another structure to remove the ectopic, either. It is an abortion.
Underline- I don't understand your question.

re the question, my guess is:
Many doctors won't sterilize younger women or women who haven't had kids even though they have decided that they do not ever want children or only want the number of children they have currently. They justify this based on the fact that the women might 'change their minds' although you rarely see a doctor question a woman who chooses to get pregnant similarly even though both choices are long term commitments.
My answer to that is that those doctors are, in short, doing it wrong.
