They depend on the average person believing them when they say, dismissively,

No mothers' lives are in danger
This never happens
It's so rare
Ectopics aren't really that bad, I know a woman who had a healthy baby
It's what god intends
Shouldn't a mother who loves her baby risk her life for the baby

Thank you for telling your story. Religious zealot republicans depend on most people not knowing what these health issues are really like.
