Christians for Personhood: ECTOPIC PREGNANCIES - Unethical versus Ethical Methods of Treatment



 UNETHICAL: 

Use of Abortifacient Drug Methotrexate Kills Ectopic Babies, Causes Ectopic Pregnancy "Abortions"; 

Or May Result in Severely Deformed Baby if Misdiagnosis Fails to Detect Embryo Implanted in Uterus 

ETHICAL: 

"Watchful Waiting/Expectant Management" and If Needed, Ethically Performed Surgery

Supposedly "pro-life" bills/laws which permit use of the abortifacient drug methotrexate to "treat" ectopic pregnancies are pieces of legislation with a serious, unacceptable flaw. 

Intentional killing of a pre-birth human being, wherever that human being is located, whether in the uterus, a fallopian tube, or elsewhere (not all ectopic pregnancies are located in fallopian tube) is unethical, unjust, and unbiblical. 

So then use of the abortifacient drug methotrexate to kill the tubal ectopic zygote/embryo is a methotrexate "abortion", and is therefore unethical, unjust, and unbiblical. 

God says, "Thou shalt not kill (murder)." 
Exodus 20:13, KJV 

Establish Justice. 

Are Unborn Human Beings People ? Are the Unborn Persons ? ALL of them ? 

If the Unborn are not Persons, then they have neither Constitutional Rights of Due Process nor of Equal Protection for their Right to Life, as do other People. 

Pass Personhood Now, 
with No Exceptions. 
There are No Exceptions 
to God-given Personhood. 
H5401, S1335
