...and the rarity of it shouldn’t matter, the fact it is being allowed is.
What is rare can become common. One life deserves protection as well.
The procedure probably adds up to about the 1000/yr range in legitimate settings, but there is no way to know since there are not reliable records on this.
Finally, if it were incredibly rare , and since there is no case where the procedure is the safest option for the woman, why would you ever then make it legal at all?
The answer lies in the “born alive” clause as I pointed out in my post above.
