Don't You Think If It Was Possible To Re-Implant Ectopic Pregnancies, We Would Already Be Doing That?

Recently there was a "pro-life" bill in Ohio that wants doctors to "re-implant" ectopic pregnancies. This is ridiculous because it's just not medically possible. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus. It is not possible for the fertilized egg to then develop into a baby. This is actually life-threatening for the pregnant person, so it requires immediate treatment. From an actual doctor. Not a politician who's making things up.

A few links about this:
From Mama Doctor Jones (a gynecologist and youtuber): ObGyn: Re-Implanting Ectopic Pregnancies | Extreme Polarization as a Legislative Distraction
And this news article: Lawmaker Says He Didn't Research Ectopic Pregnancy Procedure Before Adding To Bill (wow no kidding)

And I would like to point this out: If we had the medical technology to treat an ectopic pregnancy by taking that fertilized egg and re-implanting it in the uterus, and then the pregnancy continued as normal and developed into a baby, THAT WOULD BE GREAT NEWS. It's BIZARRE that this is being written into a "pro-life" bill as if it's something that doctors and pregnant people would need to be forced to do.

In the United States, about half of all pregnancies are planned and half are unplanned. So we can assume that in half of all ectopic pregnancies, the pregnant person really wanted to have a baby. It sucks that instead they end up with a life-threatening medical emergency and no way to save the "unborn baby's" life.

What if we could just re-implant it and you could go on to have a baby? Of course many patients would want that.

It's as if these "pro-life" politicians live in a bizarro world where "pro-choice" means "looking for any excuse to end a pregnancy." As if "pro-choice" means you LOVE ectopic pregnancies because then you get to have an abortion. As if obgyn doctors are anti-pregnancy and the law needs to step in and foil their attempts to get rid of a fertilized egg that totally could have been saved.

Over here in reality, an ectopic pregnancy is a life-threatening medical emergency, not some kind of "gotcha" in the abortion debate. Over here in reality, many women WANT to be pregnant, and it's tragic when they lose their unborn child because of things like this. If ectopic pregnancies could be re-implanted, that would be good news for everyone. And "pro-choice" doesn't mean anti-pregnancy.
