IIRC the earliest kid to survive (so far) is 21 weeks.
And no, pro-choice does not extend for everybody up until the woman is in bloody labour. Viability cut off (after 5 months) seems like more than enough time. Its not murder to when it's a blob of cells, but at some point it does become murder. Few people would want abortions available the day before the baby is due. If someone is trying to do THAT, you'd not make it your business?
Once again, law should be compassionate not judgmental, to put the baby above the mother is stupid, birth is much more complex than the simplistic laws dipshits want to make when they are not even doctors.
Complications and defects and danger to the mother can happen even after 5 months., not to mention rape and incest. And why the fuck do you think you have the right to force someone to do something with their body they don't want to do?
You want to call it murder? What then? Death row for a 15 year old girl who made a mistake? Death row for a rape victim?
Mind your own fucking business. If abortion gets outlawed, even after 5 months, you are going to be putting lives in danger and those laws can kill girls and women. Dont play doctor with lives and don't play morality police with laws.
