I am still here and now a mother because where I was ten years ago considered my ectopic pregnancy to be a medical emergency and not a moral issue. Had I been a non-rich woman in El Salvador, Ireland[0] or in some of the states where legislators think like you, there's a good chance I wouldn't be.

Even though I'm not Catholic.
