called "abortion murder". Doctors who performed abortions in cases of
ectopic pregnancy
and other life-threatening conditions would be exempt from prosecution only if they "[took] all possible steps to preserve the life of the unborn child, while preserving the life of the woman. Such steps include, if applicable, attempting to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman's uterus".

Reimplantation of an ectopic pregnancy is not a recognized or medically feasible procedure.
