According to Missouri Republicans, yes.

A bill making its way through state legislature makes abortion a crime. It is a Class B felony in most cases, with a 3 year prison term. It is a Class A felony in case of ectopic pregnancy, with 10 year prison term.

Ectopic pregnancy means the fertilized egg lodges somewhere other than the uterus. Without a placenta it cannot live and grow. Ectopic pregnancies are 100% fatal to the fertilized egg. They are also nearly always fatal to the incubator, I mean, woman. Even when abortion was illegal in the US and other countries, the law allowed for abortion in case of ectopic pregnancy since otherwise the woman would die.

So Missouri women with ectopic pregnancies can choose. Die, or 10 years in prison.

Just don't tell me it's about life.
They hate women.
 
If prison/death is inevitable, you might as well relax and enjoy it.
