In reply to the discussion: Ohio bill orders doctors to 'reimplant ectopic pregnancy' or face 'abortion murder' charges [View all]wnylib

So when an ectopic pregnancy occurs and they treat it properly with medication or surgery to abort the embryo, let the fools find a prosecutor foolish enough to bring charges. No conviction would ever hold, even if they could find 12 people dumb enough to convict.
There is not even a strategic reason for this insanity. If there was a conviction that would of course be appealed, the appeal is a slam dunk win for physician and patient. Nothing to be argued even in an appeals court.
Even the harrassment of doctors and women would achieve nothing. It is not abortion doctors who treat ectopic pregnancies. It is ordinary ob-gyn docs who discover the problem in their patient.
So there is no intimidation value in this insanity. A doctor would be more intimidated by NOT treating a woman's ectopic pregnancy appropriately since it would kill her if left untreated.
Not a strategic move, just an insane one.
