I would say that I am not qualified to give an exact day. I would leave that to the medical community to show when a baby can survive. To avoid the nonstop bickering of maybe this maybe then...I would say that they must show the earliest a baby HAS survived and make that the cut off. If a baby is shown to survive earlier than the law states then it could easily be changed to reflect that.

An exception is always present to this time. Mothers health know no timeline and must come first. Deformity must also play a part in this exception.

As far as 27 weeks 28 weeks 25 weeks....this is waaaaay more than enough time to have made the decision already if the abortion is simply to terminate the pregnancy. IMHO most of them should take place by about ten to twelve weeks when in this context.

I concede that stating the cut off day or week is a difficult thing to do. That is why I state the example I do. I feel the medical community could very well state the facts and draw the line with those facts. As those facts change due to better medical science and success so could the time limit.

Then at this point, anyone who has previously aborted a baby after the date of the NEW cutoff should be charged with murder of a potentially sentient human being.

Would you agree to that stipulation? I doubt it.
