23 weeks might be illegal even in California. In California, there is no strict cut-off date as to when a pregnancy may be terminated. But absent special circumstances, abortion cannot be performed once the fetus becomes viable. Hospitals will resuscitate and actively treat babies born in the 22nd week of pregnancy.
- DubiousPusher 4y ago> abortion cannot be performed once the fetus becomes viable I don't think that's universally true. That would depend upon the state. The Roe decision protected women from government intervention before the fetus was vaible but now that Roe is gone that does not mean the inverse is true.
- tlogan 4y agoYes - but let’s not use this instance as “abortion” story. This story can also be used by anti-abortion people to show how abortion is about killing babies. In short, if you ask any nurse or doctor they will tell you that rules are to try to save any baby which is more than 22 weeks.
