"(3) The treatment of an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion and shall not be reported pursuant to Rule 59A-9.034."

Of course it's an abortion. It absolutely kills the fetus.

Any medical doctor who aborted an ectopic pregnancy would testify that they provided abortion, regardless of what the law states.

We don't know why you can't acknowledge that fact.

You have a weird hang-up whereby you think if you tell a doctor it's okay to murder certain babies, you think they should believe you, but you're neither a lawyer or a doctor.

You're a cop.

You are trained to lie to people, to try to get them to admit guilt.

That's all you are doing with your "command voice" posts, quoting a law you don't even understand.

Maybe when the malpractice lawsuits start paying out, they will figure out they can comply with the law and keep their patients from dying at the same time.

Completely backwards.

You think a Florida jury will punish a doctor for NOT killing a fetus, when abortion is illegal in Florida.

See, this is what I mean about you've been trained to lie to people.

It really makes it impossible to discuss the issues with you because you're already looking past the issues to the imaginary outcomes that just aren't supported by law or by human nature or by how businesses operate.

Your reassurances about the law fall as flat as a police officer who tells a woman not to worry because there's A restraining order against her abusive husband. Like that's any sort of guarantee.

You try to exploit people's naievete.

The treatment of an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion and shall not be reported

One could read this to mean that it is illegal to treat ectopic pregnancy with abortion:

"The treatment of an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion. Instead, let nature run its course."

Do you really not see how it could be interpreted that way? Really?

"even in legalese it's pretty plain language that treating an ectopic pregnancy will not be considered an abortion, and doesn't need to be reported as one."

You're really not getting it, and I know you're not a dummy, so I'll point out a few things.

What CPT code do they use for this medical procedure?
The same one as for an abortion.

Put a doctor on the stand under oath, ask them if this procedure was an abortion.
The true answer is: Yes, that is the medical procedure known as abortion, regardless of what any statute might indicate.

You really gonna deny all of that is true, Smart guy?
Really?

it's political theater and pretty disgusting.

You're right, though of course the political theater is coming from the guys who re-defined baby murder to make certain kinds of baby murder legal.

Go on, KWRX25. Deny that terminating an ectopic pregnancy ends a human life.

You live in a Clown World of your own choosing.
