It does tie their hands though. They can't practice modern medicine because the abortion laws aren't written by educated medical professionals. It also puts their license, job, and entire life in jeopardy if after review they are found to have violated it. These laws are trying to make gray areas like this black and white. This mother died. Unfortunately that means the fetus does as well in the real world. Just because we can keep the mother on life support doesn't mean we should. This fetus has a low chance of survival. She was 9 weeks pregnant. Abortion is any removal of a fetus regardless of living or dead. An ectopic pregnancy where the fetus will never live will be treated with an abortion. Otherwise the fallopian tube ruptured and the woman dies of internal bleeding painfully.
