Is ending a tubular pregnancy considered abortion?

Question

Just a little curious about different opionons.

Answer 1

HECK NO. I WOULD END IT. IF YOU DIDN'T, IT WOULD BUST AND CAN POSSIBLY KILL YOU.

Answer 2

No, it's not. A tubal pregnancy could never develop into a fully developed human being...it's impossible. The fetus would get only so big, then the tube would rupture, possibly killing the mother (or at least making her very ill) and definitely killing the baby.

If it was one of those cases where the doctor said, "Well, you have a 50/50 chance of carrying this baby to term..." and you ended a tubal pregnancy, then yes, it would be abortion. Like I said, tubal pregnancies don't end in healthy full term babies. I'm not aware of any cases of that ever happening.

Answer 3

Who cares?? A tubular pregnancy will kill the mother and child in 90 some percent of cases! I saw something not too long ago about a woman in England that had one of these pregnancies come to term and the docs said it shouldn't have happened. They had never seen any of their patients live through it. She almost didn't.

Answer 4

A tubal pregnancy is life threatening and a baby can't grow inside the tubes, so no....ending a tubular pregnancy is not abortion.

Answer 5

Abortion is considered the premature end of a life. It also means to terminate an action. I would say that yes, it is an abortion. But it is from no fault of the mother. A fertilized egg gets lodged in the fallopian tube, it can't develop to term. It ruptures the tube and ends both the mother and child's life. It is a very dangerous condition that has to end in surgical removal to save the life of the mother.

Answer 6

yes it is an abortion hence the reason for abortions being legal, to get rid of a tubal pregnancy they do the same steps of an abortion, there are many differnt types of abortions, but oviously ended a pregnancy for the reasons of a tubal pregnancy is not wrong because like every in here well the SMART people say a tubal pregnancy is extreamly dangerous to the mother it can possibly kill her

Answer 7

I had a tubal pregnancy 20 yrs. ago and no one knew it, was only 1 week late on my period. Went to the emergency room 3 times in severe pain. Was hemorraging internally so they did emergency surgery and took out the tube. Abortions were not legal 20 yrs. ago so I do not think medically it is considered as one. The baby can not grow and survive in the tube and if it stays in the tube, the tube will burst and unless one gets immediate medical attention will bleed to death.

Answer 8

Technically, it is an abortion.

However, the right to lifers don't protest against it because it's a medical fact that, in a tubal pregnancy, the fetus cannot survive, and will eventually kill the mother. There is no other choice but for the doctor to terminate the pregnancy and remove the fetus.

Answer 9

No it isn't. A tubal pregnancy cannot go to term. So either you end it through surgery or it will burst, end itself and possibly kill you in the process.

A tubal pregnancy is not implanted in an area of the body fit to carry a baby. It just isn't possible.

Hope all goes well.

Answer 10

Technically, any time a pregnancy is ended it's considered an abortion. A miscarrige, in medical terminology is a "natural abortion". Horrible way of looking at it in my opinion.

Tubal pregnancies are not viable. If they are not medically ended, they rupture, often causing death to the woman.

Answer 11

Absolutely not. If you did not end the pregnancy you would die. It's not a viable pregnancy because the embryo cannot grow and develop in the fallopian tube, but like a miscarriage that requires a d&c.
