Abstract
Ectopic pregnancy occurs in 1%–2% of pregnancies in the United States and accounts for significant pregnancy-related mortality. Although the rate of ectopic pregnancy among patients seeking abortion is thought to be lower than that of the general population, physicians and clinicians who provide abortion may diagnose rare sites of abnormal implantation due to their frequent use of early ultrasound as a part of abortion care. In addition, complex family planning practitioners can be relied upon for assistance with these cases as these practitioners are typically skilled in the management and termination of pregnancies with abnormal implantations. In the post-Roe landscape, with abortion being outlawed in many states, physicians and clinicians should be able to identify and treat these abnormal pregnancies that present a threat to the life and health of the pregnant woman.
