In reply to Eric Forss.

Maybe it would be better to explain this in the Catechism so if those who read it to learn what our LCMS teaches and believes will not become confused or turned against it.
I doubt there are very many "tubal pregnancy" that God will not take care of in His own way. In any and all case, both mother and child should be given equal care to survive. The mother has had the opportunity to hear the gospel but the infant has not.
Maybe that part could just be left off as in early years and let the pastor further explain "the procedure" if the question comes up.

In the Confession, the confused reader has to read much further to pp 218 to understand that it is not necessary to confess sins to a LMS pastor to be forgiven.
