It's not a hard-cut line, since every situation is different and its dependent on both the neonatal care available and the diagnosis of the medical staff doing the examining.
As far as I'm aware, the supreme court has upheld a woman's right to an abortion of a pre-viable fetus, and after that it's up to the states. Either way, this heartbeat bill doesn't pass muster, and won't stand in the face of review (unless the courts do a 180 suddenly from previous precedents), since it bans abortions far before the third trimester viability window.
23-26 weeks is second trimester
Sorry, I meant that after 23-26 weeks, then the third trimester starts. As in, the courts have upheld a woman's right to have an abortion before the third trimester.
