Reply to comment by Glucose12 in NH House passes abortion-rights protections by IBlazeMyOwnPath

All I'm saying is that viability has been demonstrated to be as early as 21 weeks. Drawing a line is obviously something that needs to be done, but it's a sticky wicket with continuously shifting standards.

21 weeks surprises me - how can the fetus/unborn survive outside of the womb if the brain isn't fully functional yet. Perhaps that 25-week wakeup of the brain isn't consistent, and can be earlier or later for some individuals?
