I almost forgot about you, Mr. Cat. No, that's not what I said. Yes, we're really terminating a pregnancy in all the cases described. No, we're not always saving the mother's life acutely in all the cases, though, in the case of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and the woman in the OP, the termination does save the life of the mother.
To Beryana, do you advocate women dying with their ectopic pregnancies as well? These are normal fetuses, too. They just happen to be in abnormal places.
