At least they saved that baby, right?

Except they didn't.

There is and can be no baby when there is an ectopic pregnancy. The early fetus will never develop into a baby. It is impossible in the case of a nectopic pregnancy because that fetus needs to grow in the uterus, not in a tiny fallopian tube.

Even if you consider the fetus to be a baby already, there is zero value in preventing abortion because that baby cannot live. All it can do is potentially kill its mother before it also dies.

That’s… I’m pretty sure that’s the joke.

I understood. That doesn't mean it's not worth saying.
