Mother's life exception — ectopic pregnancy and similar cases are not 'abortion' by definition; they are pro-life decisions

Mike argues that the pro-life syllogism defines abortion as the intentional killing of an innocent human being. When the mother's life is at stake (e.g., ectopic pregnancy) and a procedure results in the death of the child as an unintended consequence of saving the mother, this does not meet the definition of abortion — both will die without intervention. Saving the mother is a pro-life act; the child's death is the unintended, undesired result. He uses the analogy of conjoined twins: separating them when both would otherwise die, and one can be saved, is not murder of the one who dies.
