With regard to ectopic pregnancy (in the fallopian tube), the authors hold
{ 1 } - To detach the fetus from it normal site of implantation is indirect abortion.
{ 2 } - To detach a fetus from an abnormal site in which it cannot live for long and in which it causes serious pathology in the mother is indirect abortion if the moral object intended is not the death of the infant.
{ 3 } - The fact that techniques of reimplantation of fetuses removed from abnormal sites are not yet developed does not excuse physicians not engaged in research from attempting it.
{ 4 } - If a physician removes a fetus from a fallopian tube, he has no responsibility to place it in a normal position (i.e. in the womb) if he is able to.
{ 5 } - linear salpingostomy and removal of the fetus is direct abortion and thus unethical.

No, they hold that is direct abortion, but that the fallopian tube is not the normal site of implantation. See p. 253.
