I'm sure there are the rare legitimate health of the mother exceptions, the ectopic cases such as Pan mentions. But the exceptions are driven by a real medical need, they are not a personal choice to terminate a pregnancy by hiding behind the health provision. What is their health reason? I don't want this extra weight? I'm just so stressed out, gosh, make this all go away? All of this could be avoided if such statutes were amended to contain language like "in the case of a womans legitimate medical need (such as an ectopic pregnancy)", right?
