Generally "viability of the fetus" is considered to start at around 24 weeks. This is key because "viability" (i.e., the ability to survive outside the womb) is the cutoff between when abortion rights are generally upheld and restricted (if the fetus cannot survive outside the womb, the right to an abortion is upheld; if it can survive, then the right may be restricted).

Although the means necessary may be extreme to do so, a twenty week old fetus surviving is well within the realm of possible today.

The Supreme Court didn't block shite. They just refused to grant the writ.
The could be a million reasons to deny it that don't include endorsing the ruling below.
