ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady Do you understand what "viable" means? A "story" without legitimate documentation to back it up as fact is just that. I'm sure Tazzy will chime in soon with an explanation of the viability of a 22 week fetus. As for the other video, the woman was talking about an abortion at SEVEN AND A HALF MONTHS. Exactly when was this? That certainly isn't legal in this day and age, since at that point, the fetus is completely viable. ~FR The youngest surving has been at 21.6 weeks. The woman lied to her doctors, so they did all the could BEFORE the delivery to ensure the optimum chances of survival after delivery. This would have included giving steroids to mature the lungs faster. Keep in mind, that case was not a case of a botched abortion. We are speaking of a very very few abortions where the ability to survive outside of the womb are even possible. Most abortions are done before the age of viability (see chart) [image]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/US_abortion_by_gestational_age_2004_histogram.svg/450px-US_abortion_by_gestational_age_2004_histogram.svg.png[/image] <9 weeks 61.3% 9-10 17.8% 11-12 9.6% 13-15 6.7% 16-20 3.5% >21 1.1% So, we are discussing the 1.1%.. From beneath the chart it says.... > 21 = 8365 There were instances of infants who were aborted live and tossed into bins, if I remember correctly. Again, very very few. Which is why this became a federal law. Now, what should happen if an abortion goes wrong as a late term abortion? (After viability). Depends on federal law. (b) As used in this section, the term ‘born alive’, with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-107hr2175enr/pdf/BILLS-107hr2175enr.pdf This is the law signed in by Bush in 2002. Why this seems so complicated to any of the parties in that video, I have no clue. At this point, any and all measures should be employed to treat the infant.
