My Mom had an ectopic pregnancy. She almost died, but was saved by her OBG (actually i think he was a Genral Practitioner - remember them? but he knew an ectopic pregnancy when he saw one, and rigged up something to put the blood whe was losing back into her.) Had she dies, I would never have been born either.

Whether the abortion was emergency or "elective" - I'll bet there are a lot of us walking around only because of a previous abortion for our mother - maybe even grandmother.
