An emergency C Section has suddenly become non existent and abortion is the only option when a woman’s life is in danger. If this woman was really sent home to die then this should be a huge malpractice lawsuit against the doctor that did that. Instead, it’s all Ted Cruz’s fault.

This. There is never a need for an abortion to save a mother's life. Early delivery is the solution, but the left has brainwashed everyone into thinking that abortion is the only option.
There is a need for abortions in certain cases (like an ectopic pregnancy where the embryo decides the fallopian tube is the best place to take root). But it's not to the extent its mandated in current day medicine.
The same drug used in the day after pill is used in this scenario and doesnt cause infertility like cutting out the affected portion of tube will.
Make medicine medicinal again.
Terminating an ectopic pregnancy is not abortion because the embryo is not removed from the uterus. Although some ectopic pregnancies are terminated surgically or medically, it is not considered an abortion. It is usually a medical emergency.
The drugs used in this scenario, at least as I understand this situation, are mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks progesterone to stop the progression of the pregnancy, then misoprostol is used to induce uterine contractions to expel the fetal remains. This procedure is advertised as safe and effective, but may come with complications that adversely affect fertility just like surgical abortions.
That's a twist of words. Removing the tubes removes fertility. There is a small chance of the drugs also causing ferility issues as side effect and complications. They are not the same.
This particular procedure is commonly lumped in as an "abortion" for law and regulation because people are more interested in the divisive wedge tactic played by politicians than what is actually happening to people with real medical needs.
No one should consider terminating an ectopic pregnancy to be an abortion. The mother's life is literally at risk (which is one of the exceptions allowed). Babies cannot grow outside of the uterus and will 100% die.
You're also twisting words. In the case of ectopic pregnancy, one tube is removed, and that's usually the case when it's already burst, hence why an emergency surgery is needed. Most women have two tubes so they do have a chance of getting pregnant in the future with the remaining tube left.
I don't know of any state that denies a mother life saving intervention. If there are any, please point them out.
When I hear of doctors refusing these cases, I look at them as political virtue signalers and/or cowards. They & their state representatives need to be called out publicly.
