The new proposal would also require doctors to attempt to reimplant ectopic pregnancies in the uterus, where it’s supposed to grow. Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg attaches itself outside the uterus, where it can’t develop.
But the Ohio proposal ignores the fact that reimplanting an ectopic pregnancy is “physiologically impossible,” said Dr. Chris Zahn, the vice president of practice activities at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In fact, attempting that is extremely dangerous, and the technology needed to do it doesn’t even exist.
