63. No, it doesn't, not really

While extreme heroics have allowed 22 weeks and older to survive, the treatment itself causes huge problems for the kids later on. When the outcome is life without much quality of life, medical science tends to shy away from such heroics unless it's a young doc trying to be some sort of hero.

After 24 weeks, the fetus has a slightly >50% chance of survival, so terminations of pregnancies at that stage are premature births, not abortions.

I've seen late term cases in the right wing's 20-24 week period. All the pregnancies were wanted but they were threatening the woman's life. There was no way she could wait another month or two, the pregnancies had to be ended right then. Right wingers would rather the woman die along with her fetus than terminate the pregnancy.

In fact, none of the antiabortionists recognize that a living breathing female human being has any civil rights of her own as soon as she becomes pregnant.

Pushing back the viability date beyond what it actually is by forbidding doctors to act in the best interests of their patients. While those laws stand, they will kill women.
