I want to talk about Option 1 for a while, because it is one that is very near and dear to my heart.  My mother was given a very little chance of living when she was a pregant with me and still suffers some side effects of that pregnancy.  Could she have aborted me?  Of course she could have, but she choose to take the risk and give me life.  She told the doctors to save me and not worry what happened to her.  This is mostly the reason I am pro-life because if I had a different mother I probably would not be here today.

But in the case of option 1, in like at least 99% of cases, the fetus is positioned such that it ruptures the internal organ it's implanted in as it grows, causes massive internal hemorrhaging, and results in the death of both of them.

You think it'd be better to simply let all of the women die who were not as amazingly fortunate as your mother?

I would say 2 and 3 at this point only because I know really nothing about 1 and 2.

#1 basically goes like this:

When an egg is fertilized, a normal pregancy will begin with the egg implanting itself in the woman's uterus, which has enough space to house a full-sized baby.  An ectopic pregnancy is where the egg implants itself elsewhere, usually in the fallopian tubes.  The fallopian tubes are only wide enough to allow a single egg through.  If the egg grows normally within the fallopian tubes, the woman will be subjected to extreme and excruciating pain and eventually death as the embryo expands and causes the fallopian tube to tear and rupture.  The only way to avert this is to remove the embryo.

That's an ectopic pregnancy in a nutshell.
