I think more to the point is that by specifically excluding some procedures, you might create future conflicts with existing laws.

There is some (very limited mind you) allowed Federal funding of abortion in cases of rape and when the mother's life is in danger.

It doesn't make any sense to insert blind restrictions into early provisions of the bill, unless it's just to rile the base.
