MO Bill Bans Abortions For Ectopic Pregnancies, Which Can Be Fatal To The Mother, Are Nonviable For Fetuses

The Hill reports:

Missouri state Rep. Brian Seitz (R) introduced a bill in the state House that would ban the termination of ectopic pregnancies.

These pregnancies, which occur when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tube, can be life-threatening for the mother if left untreated, and the fetus can’t survive to be carried to term, according to Mayo Clinic.

The bill, if passed into law, would make performing, inducing or attempting to perform or induce an abortion for such a pregnancy a class A felony. Such a charge could carry a sentence of up to 30 years in prison.
