This poses a good question: during IVF is disposing of viable embryos abortion?

But it has the *potential* of being a baby. In a uterus or not. Take it a step further: if/when completely uterus-less babies are "born" ex-vivo, will a viable embryos be "abortions" if disposed of?

I do not believe that is considered an abortion and would not be prohibited by abortion bans.

Abortions are elective, not an emergency.

A medical procedure that is not elective nor specifically intended to end a pregnancy but results in the loss of the baby is not considered an abortion.

Medically preventable deaths of pregnant women are coming to a red state near you. | image tagged in ireland woman dies after abortion request denied | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
I agree, but I expect there will be a lot of debate about what a "real abortion" is, and not every law will take a common-sense view.

"Fetal heartbeat bills" anyone? We're told by many pro-lifers that a fetus's heartbeat determines its right-to-life. However, from those hooked up to life support for years, we know you can have a heartbeat and still be effectively dead, making further efforts at resuscitation futile.

You might think I'm just being contrary, but Ireland had a case exactly on point. A fetus had a heartbeat but was basically dead and causing her mother to develop and eventually die from sepsis. Her pleas for an abortion were refused. The outcry of over this woman's death led to major reform of Ireland's restrictive abortion laws, the repeal of a Constitutional amendment outlawing abortion, etc.

Medical decision-making is extremely complex, expecially in pregnancy, and it is right for it to be in the hands of the woman and the doctor, not the government. Which is exactly what Roe v. Wade says. The decision protects women's healthcare - really, it does.

"The decision protects women's healthcare - really, it does."

Over 95% of abortions are for convenience and not healthcare. Abortion should not be a form of contraception. Actions have consequences and people have to be responsible for the actions they take.

If a woman gets a COVID shot and she loses the baby, that would not fall under the abortion ban. Her intent was not to end the pregnancy.

The restrictions only apply to the intentional ending of a pregnancy.
