Ectopic pregnancy is where the ferilized egg implants somewhere other than the uterus . Fallopian tube , abdominal cavity . this is almost 100 % guaranteed to kill the woman if it is not aborted . Sometimes the zygote dies and is resorbed by the body . Molar pregnancy is when the fertilized egg is missing some genes , and turns cancerous and grows out of control . If it is not aborted , the woman 100 % will die of cancer . Fortunately , science not religion has progressed to the point where we can discover these problems and do a therapeutic abortion before the woman dies or is maimed . The diagnosis of these types of genetic abnormalities is part of normal pregnancy medical care . Life is complex and full of random mischance . The more complex something is , the more chance that a random mistake will happen . Somewhere between 13 and 12 of all pregnancies abort spontaneously . This is known as a miscarriage . Most are so early that the woman does not even know . Spontaneous abortions are usually because of genetic flaws . If your god valued every life so highly , why would he set up this process that created so many deaths , and had so many imperfections ? The number of intentional abortions compared to spontaneous abortions is tiny , really miniscule . If each fertilized egg was what was really important to the prolifers , why aren ' t they protesting the lack of research in minimizing genetic defects which cause this huge avalanche of spontaneous abortions ? I think it is because they don ' t want sexually active women to get away with having sex without punishment . Try talking about the catastrophe or the horror or the sorrow for these billions of sponaneous abortions . Prolifers are completely uninterested . It is not life they care about .
