If the pregnancy is medically contraindicated in the first place, by what moral authority do you delay treatment, potentially for many weeks, and force the woman to undergo a significantly more invasive procedure, on the basis of speculation that if the woman lives and does not deteriorate or suffer significant damage, you might be able to "save" a viable fetus?
What "we ought to do" is get the legislature and private moralization the **** out of hospitals and doctor's offices and let the woman make her own determination in consultation with her health care providers.
